kern.coredump.setid.path: Path pattern for set-id coredumps.

..and what if the OP wanted any coredump to end up under some
specified path? Is that possible? How? (I myself could see a
use for this, living with partially tiny quotas on my home,
but with no quota on e.g. /var/tmp). Ok, I could setuid myself :p
