dumping core on *(NULL) is not a function of your processor

Well, there's a simple hack to get a binary format that doesn't
use a new magic number and will break hardly any existing programs:
Make ld generate ZMAGIC output with the first page full of zeroes. Of
course, this moves crt0.o into page 1 (and thus setting a_entry to
0x400 or something).
Now, the only trick needed is that the kernel recognizes the fact that page
0 is full of zeroes and doesn't map it......
