Loads a kernel from a vmlinux elf image to a slice

Arguments

• guest_mem - The guest memory region the kernel is written to.
• kernel_image - Input vmlinux image.
• start_address - For x86_64, this is the start of the high memory. Kernel should reside above it.
• load_offset - The offset to add to each loaded address.
• assume_pic - Assume that the image contains Position-Independent Code.
• acceptance - The page acceptance type for pages in the kernel.
• tag - The tag used to report igvm imports.

Returns (minimum offset written, maximum offset written, entry address of the kernel).
