Subject: [PATCH 3.16 290/294] MIPS: elf2ecoff: Ignore PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS
 program headers.

3.16.50-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@...ux-mips.org>

commit 26f7c4bd05cf34e63a4a794150ab66a40a5a84a9 upstream.

These are generated by very recent toolchains and result in an error
message when attenpting to convert a kernel from ELF to ECOFF.
