Well, could you export "nd" by deleating static or by adding
get_netdump_vmcore_data() at next release? It's your choise on
removing a serise of get_arch_regs_from_elf_notes(). Anyway if you
removed them, I would reimplement get_x86_64_regs_from_elf_notes(),
which is only necessary function for me, in gcore extension module
through the exported "nd".

I'm releasing a new version of gcore extension module this week, and
in the version, I'll temporarily deal with the fatal action caused due
to absense of note information for non-panic active tasks in some way.

Thanks.
