Hello!

This morning's rcutorture testing on next-20230818 complained about
prepare_elf_headers() being defined but unused on several rcutorture
scenarios. The patch below makes rcutorture happy, but might or might
not be a proper fix.

This is a resend adding a few more people on CC, given a possible
relationship to 9f1f399ca999 ("x86/crash: add x86 crash hotplug support").

Thoughts?

Thanx, Paul

Paul,
Any chance I could get a pointer to one of the failing
kernel .config files for the rcutorture case?
Thanks!
eric
