Right.  We should simply need to enable the shadow memory in V2.
ADLO can take it from there.  We can reexamine if we ever find
memory that has a problem being read-write.

It is weird that ADLO loads in one place and runs in another but
that is largely a non-issue.  We need the a loader that runs
in protected mode.  So whatever I was thinking with ELF tricks
is something we can ignore.
