I _think_ Cedric's point is that, to the kernel,
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 is a "flat file" because the kernel
doesn't have any part in parsing the executable format of a shared library.

I actually don't know how it works, though.  Do we just just trust that
the userspace parsing of the .so format is correct?  Do we just assume
that any part of a file passing IMA checks can be PROT_EXEC?
