Subject: wierd new config options

Why is UNEVICTABLE_LRU and option?  Is there any rason to turn it off or
is this just to confuse users?

CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is similarly odd, it turns something on
that break old userspace, this really really should be a sysctl to turn
on instead of a config option.
