With the latest patches we allow loading bzImage kernels from a pipe,
but we still fail on "flat binary" images.
Rework the loading routines to take memory buffers for the beginning
of the file, so we don't need to rewind the image.
This allows to fall back to flat binary loading if bzImage fails
without using a seek, so kvmtool will happily accept any file
descriptor (including pipes) for the image file.
