That's right - move_module() ignores !SHF_ALLOC sections and does not
copy them over to their final location. So I think we want to look for
SHF_EXECINSTR|SHF_WRITE|SHF_ALLOC here..

Also correct, a section with SHF_EXECINSTR|SHF_WRITE|SHF_ALLOC would
be ignored as it matches none of the masks listed in
layout_sections() - its section->sh_entsize will stay ~0UL.

That would be a bug indeed, - we'd get a completely wrong offset to
copy into since sh_entsize was never initialized. Actually, there
should probably be a check for that in move_module() :-/

Nope, thanks for double checking everything!
