- * Note about the entry point:
+ * Our entrypoint.
*
- * For some odd reason, the first page of the load appears to have trouble
- * when entering in LE. The first five instructions decode weirdly.
- * I suspect it is some cache weirdness between the ELF headers and .text.
- *
- * Ensure we have a gap between the start of .text and the entry as a
- * workaround.
+ * A bug in the SLOF shipped with some versions of QEMU causes the first
+ * 32 bytes of .text to be wrongly byte-swapped when loading LE programs.
+ * As a workaround, we add some padding at the start of the text section.
