[PATCH 5/7] kconfig: have extract-ikconfig read ELF files

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

It would be nice to use extract-ikconfig to find the congfig.gz
in either vmlinux (not vmlinuz) or configs.ko.

This patch changes the script to also be able to read ELF files directly.

[ Impact: find config.gz in vmlinux and configs.ko ]
