Right.

Yeah. For initial patch I decided to start from a reasonable minimum, but this approach is expandable and
I've thought about something like "FillUpToOffset" field.
Then we could have:

  Sections:
     - Type: CustomFiller
       Pattern: "00"
       FillUpToOffset:    0x100
     - Name: .text
       Type: SHT_PROGBITS
       Address: 0x100

It would then create `.text` at offset 0x100 with VA = 0x100.
