Thanks for pointing this out. 

The finalization step is currently needed because program headers are processed in one pass, and a `PT_LOAD` can appear before the `PT_NOTE` containing `NT_FILE`. It also handles memory-tag information and `NT_FILE` ranges without a corresponding `PT_LOAD`.

The containment approach seems slightly different from the earlier @clayborg's suggestion to require matching start addresses?

I asked AI to check five production CPU cores containing 19,808 `NT_FILE` entries; each entry matched one `PT_LOAD` memory range, and I did not find an entry spanning multiple `PT_LOAD`s. Multiple mappings of the same file appeared as separate entries with the same pathname. Would you happen to have an example or producer where one `NT_FILE` entry spans multiple `PT_LOAD`s?
