/** load_elf:
* @filename: Path of ELF file
* @translate_fn: optional function to translate load addresses
* @translate_opaque: opaque data passed to @translate_fn
* @pentry: Populated with program entry point. Ignored if NULL.
* @lowaddr: Populated with lowest loaded address. Ignored if NULL.
* @highaddr: Populated with highest loaded address. Ignored if NULL.
* @bigendian: Expected ELF endianness. 0 for LE otherwise BE
* @elf_machine: Expected ELF machine type
* @clear_lsb: Set to mask off LSB of addresses (Some architectures use
* this for non-address data)
*
* Load an ELF file's contents to the emulated system's address space.
* Clients may optionally specify a callback to perform address
* translations. @pentry, @lowaddr and @highaddr are optional pointers
* which will be populated with various load information. @bigendian and
* @elf_machine give the expected endianness and machine for the ELF the
* load will fail if the target ELF does not match. Some architectures
* have some architecture-specific behaviours that come into effect when
* their particular values for @elf_machine are set.
