Here the user calls ebl_openbackend + ebl_closebackend, if user wants to
reimplement core files support s/he also calls ebl_core_note.

This really seems as an incorrect API. The parameter expresses arch (to
specify register set and unwinding specifics). What if one unwinds internal
memory image, then one would have to create artificial Elf just so that one
can specify the arch with it.
