The module text remains in core_layout, so the text section still needs 
core_layout. In the masks[][] table, it corresponds to the first line, 
which has flag  SHF_EXECINSTR. In the loop that's when 'm' is 0.

In the following switch/case, case 0 still uses core_layout.

Same here, the section with flag SHF_EXECINSTR is a text section, it 
stays in core_layout.
