Thanks for keeping me honest.  It looks like I did something foolish,
and wound up putting 386 headers on the x86_64 crash dump.

I have rebased updated my kexec-tools-devel branch.  Could you try it
now?  I haven't had a chance to test it yet but when I inspected the
code it appeared very obvious what I had done wrong.

The active part of the fix is below (I have an earlier patch that just
defines KEXEC_ARCH_NATIVE).

Subject: [PATCH] x86 crashdump: On x86_64 generate EM_X86_64 crashdump headers.

Paper bag time.  I forgot to double check my changes worked
on x86_64.  So I wound up with x86_64 putting i386 crashdump headers
on when it generated a crashdump header.  Ouch!

Fix it by using the new KEXEC_ARCH_NATIVE value so we can see what
we are doing.
