Subject: xen/elfnote: Specify ELF Notes are x86-specific
X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=853c71dfbf520a84158d23803de8e29d08c957bb;p=people%2Faperard%2Fxen-unstable.git

xen/elfnote: Specify ELF Notes are x86-specific

The Xen ELF Notes are only used with x86.  libelf's elf_xen_note_check()
exits early for ARM binaries with "ELF: Not bothering with notes on
ARM".

Add a comment to the top of elfnote.h specifying that Notes are only used
with x86 binaries.  This is to avoid adding disclaimers for individual
notes.
