Subject: binfmt_elf.c EI_CLASS check patch

During some research of mine I realized most of my ELF analysis tools
break on ELF objects with an ELF header e_ident[EI_CLASS] not equal to
 ELFCLASS32 or ELFCLASS64. These objects still work fine because the
ELF  loader code does not check this value upon execution. So I wrote
a quick  patch to do it.
