Hi,

I got a problem with QEMU refusing to load an ELF binary with 0-length
sections,
while the kernel has no issue doing this.

This patch adds a check that has been in kernel since 2008 at least.

Cheers,
Alex

    Do not attempt to map 0-length sections

    Mmap will return an invalid argument, but 0-length sections
    are valid in any case. The kernel as a similar check
    when loading elf binaries courtesy of jkosina@suse.cz.
