This is a simply implement for the 32bit and 64bit elf loader.
The loading function first reads the image header, and finds the program
entries that are marked as PT_LOAD, then loads segments from elf file to
guest ram. After that, it finds the bss section in the elf section entries, and
clear the ram area it points to.
Limitations:
1. The e_type of the elf image must be ET_EXEC(executable). Relocatable or
dynamic code is not supported.
2. The loader only copies program segments that has a p_type of
PT_LOAD(loadable segment). Other segments are ignored.
3. The loader doesn’t support Sections that are relocatable
(sh_type is SHT_REL or SHT_RELA)
4. The 64bit elf’s entry address must below 4G.
5. The elf is assumed to be able to put segments to valid guest memory.

This patch adds a function elf_loader() to load elf image.
It checks the elf header, get its 32/64 bit type, then calls
the corresponding loading routines, which are empty, and
will be realized later.
