kib 5a12c5d70e Currently, when mapping an object, rtld reserves the whole address space
for the mapping by the object' file with the protection and mode of
the first loadable segment over the whole region. Then, it maps other
segments at the appropriate addresses inside the region.

On amd64, due to default alignment of the segments being 1Gb, the
subsequent segment mappings leave the holes in the region, that usually
contain mapping of the object' file past eof. Such mappings prevent
wiring of the address space, because the pages cannot be faulted in.

Change the way the mapping of the ELF objects is constructed, by first
mapping PROT_NONE anonymous memory over the whole range, and then
mapping the segments of the object over it. Take advantage of this new
order and allocate .bss by changing the protection of the range instead
of remapping.

Note that we cannot simply keep the holes between segments, because
other mappings may be made there. Among other issues, when the dso is
unloaded, rtld unmaps the whole region, deleting unrelated mappings.

The kernel ELF image activator does put the holes between segments, but
this is not critical for now because kernel loads only executable image
and interpreter, both cannot be unloaded. This will be fixed later, if
needed.
