Correct, but it is fair to assume rpoc_coredump_add_*_segment() is called for
the image that will run on the MCU (otherwiser doing so would be pointless).

That is true, we could generate an elf64 core dump for both 32 and 64 bit MCU
image and be done with it. But that is almost guaranteed to break some user
space that isn't tailored to deal with an elf64.

For this specific patchset I don't think you need to cover cases where this much
flexibility is needed (up to now it hasn't been a requiment).
Keeping track of the type of image being loaded in something like
rproc::elfclass and use that information to generate the right elf core in
rproc_coredump() is probably sufficient for the time being.
