This will be too late for arm64, since we need to twiddle the mmap prot
flags for the executable's pages based on the detected properties.

Can we instead move this much earlier, letting the arch code stash
something in arch_state that can be consumed later on?

This also has the advantage that we can report errors to the execve()
caller before passing the point of no return (i.e., flush_old_exec()).

We have already made a ton of assumptions about the ELF class by this
point, and we don't seem to check it explicitly elsewhere, so it is a
bit weird to police it specifically here.

Can we simply pass the assumed ELF class as a parameter instead?
