-// It might as well support different loaders in the future, loaded as a
-// modules. The ELF loader will be always built-in, though. But the API
-// for those has yet to be defined.
-
-// The image_key structure is used to identify a loaded image.
-// When we should load an image, we first stat() it, and check if
-// we already have loaded that exact image first, by comparing the
-// stat data with the image_key.
