Should we change memtest to use elf binary?

Basically the current way we run memtest breaks on machines with very
little low memory.  The proposed solution is to use the memtest elf
binary instead and load it into high memory.  Can I please get some more
eyes on this bug before I attempt to push harder on this?

Also should we commit this change just into development or should we SRU
this back into earlier releases?

Thanks,
Dave.
