Grouping related things together is always a good approach. But the right factor should be used for the grouping. For the ELF file is would from a usage perspective be natural to have constants close to the definition that they are used to describe. Having constants grouped with other constants just _because_ they are constants does not cut here.
Many ELF constants are used without direct reference to their corresponding structures. My linux/elf-const.h header is just a generalization of the existing linux/elf-em.h header, which just contained the ELF EM_* constants. Given that there seems to be a preexisting need for the EM_* constants in a separate header, and having a separate elf-*.h for each group of constants is a bad idea, it seemed to me that elf-const.h was the appropriate direction to take.
