This looks awesome! Thanks for working on it.

This gives us some flexibility in the ELF flags, but it seems like
overkill since nothing will actually be setting it externally. I defer
to you and Rusty on this one. :)

My only thought here is that this seems like needless setting of all
the already-set regions. I'm fine with this personally, but I wonder
if maybe it would be better to just call the frob instead?
