I have made another patch, which I hope should not break anything this
time. I tested it on an x86_64 kernel with 32 and 64 bits executables,
PIE and not PIE (well my only PIE are libc-2.5.so and ld-2.5.so). I
rejoined the loops as suggested, and the kernel falls back on load_addr +
exec->e_phoff if there was no PT_PHDR entry in the program headers.
