That should not be too hard to find out: add an endless loop in asm in
the guest right after the first image_offset access:
1:
jmp 1b
and then dump its value.
Or Tom might have an even better solution.
But looking at the code, BSS clearing happens later, at .Lrelocated and
the EFI stub comes before it. AFAICT.
