mkelfimage: remove
It's not been needed for years, is definitely not needed now that cbfstool parses bzImages, and its presence keeps confusing people. Also, rewrite history. We never mentioned mkelfimage in the documentation. Never, ever, ever. Change-Id: Id96a57906ba6a423b06a8f4140d2efde6f280d55 Signed-off-by: Ronald G.

-.SH "NAME"
-mkelfImage \- make an elf network bootable image for linux
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"

-\&\fBmkelfImage\fR [\-\-command\-line=\fIcommand line\fR] [\-\-kernel=\fIpath to vmlinux\fR] [\-\-ramdisk=\fIpath to ramdisk\fR] [\-\-output=\fIfile\fR] [\-\-ramdisk\-base=<start addr>]
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
-\&\fBmkelfImage\fR is a program that makes a elf boot image for linux kernel
-images. The image should work with any i386 multiboot compliant boot loader,
-an \s-1ELF\s0 bootloader that passes no options, a loader compliant with the linuxBIOS
-elf booting spec or with the linux kexec kernel patch. A key feature
-here is that nothing relies upon \s-1BIOS\s0 calls, but they are made when
-necessary. This is useful for systems running linuxbios.
-.SH "BUGS"
-.IX Header "BUGS"
-Not all kernel parameters can be passed with the multiboot image format.
-ip configuration is not automatically passed to a node.
-The ramdisk base is hard coded to 8MB by default.
-This man page need to be updated.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"

-The kexec kernel patch.
