[Qemu-trivial] User mode support for Linux ELF files with no section hea

Subject: [Qemu-trivial] User mode support for Linux ELF files with no section headers
Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2011 14:14:27 -0500

In user mode Linux, Qemu currently refuses to load ELF files that do not 
contain section headers (ehdr->e_shentsize == 0). Since section headers are not 
required in order to load an ELF file, simply removing the e_shentsize check in 
elf_check_ehdr() allows ELF binaries with no section headers to be run properly 
in user mode:
