Nice! But please structure it so it's one function that parses out
all the ELF notes and some other code (a table or a switch statement)
that handles them. We will probably want to add more kernel-parsed
ELF notes some day, so let's structure the code to make it easier.

Exploitable bug here? You haven't checked that ptr is in bounds or
that ptr + ptr_end is in bounds (or that ptr_end > ptr, for that
matter).

A malicious value here will probably just break out of the while
statement, but it's still scary.

kmalloc() with fully user-controlled, unchecked size is not a good idea.
