Besides the obvious stuff (storing the VSA as a file in the LAR) there are two points to solve which are rather interesting: - Entry point specification - Load address specification Both are not trivial because we get both specifications above from an ELF header. The VSA is not an ELF file, so we have to specify entry point and load address by hand.
The following patch allows us to specify LAR entries like "entry=33:blobs/vsa" which then have entry point addr 33. This can be extended to a loadaddr= parameter.
