You might also consider using elf_load in load_elf_library.
The code in load_elf_library only supports files with a single program
header, and I think is only needed for libc5.
The advantage is that load_elf_library would be using well tested code,
vm_brk would have no callers, and padzero would only be called by
elf_load, and load_elf_library would do little more than just call
load_elf_library.
