I am still struggling to consider if these unused parameters should be
kept or removed. Do you foresee or feel on which ARCH they could be used?

Considering our elfcorehdr updating method, once memory or cpu changed,
we will update elfcorehdr and cpu notes to reflect all existing memory
regions and cpu in the current system. We could end up with having them
but never being used. Then we may finally need to clean them up.

If you have investigated and foresee or feel they could be used on a
certain architecture, we can keep them for the time being.
