That's not my main worry - what if somebody has a code section with a
zero vaddr and intentionally put the entry at the beginning?
Maybe it's not supposed to work by some paper standatd, but afaik
currently it _would_ work.
All these things are relative to the load address, so a zero e_entry
doesn't mean NULL, and may be a perfectly valid address.
No?
