usually the simulator represents the hardware. so if the hardware has
memory at address 0 and someone were to load up an image with code
there, there's nothing invalid when it comes to jumping there.
what i do on the Blackfin side when it comes to testing is to have the
ELF manually pad the start with insns that'll trigger an exception
(just like it would on the hw). then i set the entry point beyond
that.
