You can use a single buffer for the ELF header, the program header and the notes. It just requires a bit of counting ahead of time. The ELF header itself is small, and so are the program headers, especially if you only have one PT_NOTE segment. The only thing that possibly gets big is the note segment, and then that only happens if you have a lot of cpus. Since there are entirely local constructs it seems extremely silly, wasteful and complicated to place each logical part in a separately mmapable buffer instead of placing them in the same mmapable buffer.
