I would rather make CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG depend on broken.
The hash is supposed to include everything we depend upon so when
a borken machine corrupts something we can detect that corruption
and not attempt to take a crash dump.
The elfcorehdr is definitely something that needs to be part of the
hash.
So please go back to the drawing board and find a way to include the
program header in the hash even with CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG.
