Several people have mailed me saying use a proc+sysctl interface instead.
That was not my intention. My primary motivation was to reduce the final
kernel size (I am always looking for ways to do this) and hence the use
of CONFIG options. If I was only worried about core files then I'd just
ulimit them to zero.
Another option is to make the coredump support a separate module from the
the associated binfmt. This would not be too hard either.
