There are several architecture where XYZ_da_to_va() does not return a NULL
pointer when @len is 0, making this comment inaccurate.  Please remove that
part.

I have reflected long and hard on this one...

If @memsz is 0 then @filesz _has_ to be 0, otherwise rproc_elf_load_segments()
returns -EINVAL.  If @filesz is also 0 then nothing gets copied (for
architectures where XYZ_da_to_va() doesn't return a NULL pointer when @len is
0), which is exactly the same as what the above change does. 

As such I am inclined to view this set favourably.  That being said we will
have to proceed cautiously.  If something breaks we will have to revert it.

Please send another revision as quickly as possible so that it can stay in
linux-next long enough to, hopefully, catch any problems.

With the above and for this set:
