Thanks for this patch -- codewise it looks good, so I just have
a couple of minor tweaks I think we should make to the comment
and commit message:
The things we're iterating through here are segments, not
sections (an ELF section is a different sort of data structure):
could you fix the text in your commit message and comment, please?

Our coding style says that multi-line comments should be
/*
* like this, with the start and
* end markers on lines of their own
*/
(if you run your patch through scripts/checkpatch.pl it ought
to detect this sort of minor coding style nit).

Other than those minor things:
Reviewed-by: Peter Maydell <address@hidden>
so if you fix them and send out a v2 patch you can include
my Reviewed-by: tag in the commit message (under your
signed-off-by) in that patch email.
