Applied to my trivial-patches branch.

Oooops, my fault :-(

Maybe we can add:

Not sure what to do about that... thanks -- PMM

$ qemu-system-arm -M virt -display none -device loader,file=/tmp/bad.elf

assertion 'file != NULL' failed
(One way to produce an ELF file that fails like this is to copy just
the first 16 bytes of a valid ELF file; this is sufficient to fool
the code in load_elf_ram_sym() into thinking it's an ELF file and
calling load_elf32() or load_elf64().)
The failure-exit path in load_elf can be reached from various points
in execution, and for some of those we haven't yet called
g_mapped_file_new_from_fd(). Add a condition to the unref call so we
only call it if we successfully created the GMappedFile to start with.
This will fix the assertion; for the specific case of the generic
loader it will then fall back from "guess this is an ELF file" to
"maybe it's a uImage or a hex file" and eventually to "just load as
a raw data file".
