On PPC the ELF PLT sections look like this:
[17] .sbss NOBITS 0002aff8 01aff8 000014 00 WA 0 0 4
[18] .plt NOBITS 0002b00c 01aff8 000084 00 WAX 0 0 4
[19] .bss NOBITS 0002b090 01aff8 0000a4 00 WA 0 0 4
Which results in an ELF load header:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align
LOAD 0x019c70 0x00029c70 0x00029c70 0x01388 0x014c4 RWE 0x10000
This is all correct, the load region containing the PLT is marked as
executable. Note that the PLT starts at 0002b00c but the file mapping ends at
0002aff8, so the PLT falls in the 0 fill section described by the load header,
and after a page boundary.
Unfortunately the generic ELF loader ignores the X bit in the load headers
when it creates the 0 filled non-file backed mappings. It assumes all of these
mappings are RW BSS sections, which is not the case for PPC.
Teach the ELF loader to check the X bit in the relevant load header and
create 0 filled anonymous mappings that are executable if the load header
requests that.

Some more testing found a bug, updated patch incase anyone wants
to try it.
Changes in v2:
- In load_elf_interp last_bss can become < elf_bss when vm_brk is
called. In the unpatched kernel this results in something like
0xFFFFFF00 being passed into vm_brk as the len, which rounds up to
0 and does nothing, but vm_mmap returns an error.. glibc 2.19
triggered this case due to the ld.so layout, eglibc 2.13 didn't.
