Clang16 links the purgatory text in two sections:
[ 1] .text PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00000040
00000000000011a1 0000000000000000 AX 0 0 16
[ 2] .rela.text RELA 0000000000000000 00003498
0000000000000648 0000000000000018 I 24 1 8
...
[17] .text.hot. PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00003220
000000000000020b 0000000000000000 AX 0 0 1
[18] .rela.text.hot. RELA 0000000000000000 00004428
0000000000000078 0000000000000018 I 24 17 8
And both of them have their range [sh_addr ... sh_addr+sh_size] on the
area pointed by `e_entry`.
This causes that image->start is calculated twice, once for .text and
another time for .text.hot. The second calculation leaves image->start
in a random location.
Because of this, the system crashes inmediatly after:

When upreving llvm I realised that kexec stopped working on my test
platform. This patch fixes it.
