Attach the elf section headers to the loaded kernel as metadata, so
they can easily be used by later post-processing. When searching for a compiled-in fdt blob, use the section headers to get the size and location of the .dynsym section to do a symbol search. This fixes a problem where the search could overshoot the symbol table and wander into the string table. Sometimes that was harmless and sometimes it lead to spurious panic messages about an offset bigger than the module size.
