At that point we could also put the elf loader (/lib/ldlinux.so.xx) into
the kernel. It is needed by all ELF programs anyways. Would speed up
loading. Making modules as ELF libraries would get rid of the special
things we are having in the kernel for those and possibly allow us to use
more standard tools for kernel debugging.
