Yeah, we'll need some way to control those eventually.

But it'll overwrite the dso->binary_type then.  What about this?

        if (dso->data_fd >= 0)
                return dso->data_fd;

        if (dso->binary_type != DSO_BINARY_TYPE__NOT_FOUND) {
                dso->data_fd = open_dso(dso, machine);
                return dso->data_fd;
        }


Thanks,
Namhyung
