Thank you for your help! Unfortunately, the memory_map is BIOS-provided; it helps but does not specify the kernel load address. However, I completely overlooked the fact that I had asked the kernel to load at 1MB, and... surprise!... it does :-) So basically I just add up the sizes of all the sections in the file to get the length. (Of course, I know where the ELF header is if necessary).
