The assumption is that an ELF image is a random raw binary,
and a non-ELF image is an actual kernel. I hate this and
would much rather we had a more generic way of saying "look,
just load this ELF file into physical memory please" (and
that -kernel always treated its argument as an actual kernel,
but that would break backwards compatibility :-()
