Yes, a new VALGRIND_USER_REQUEST which announces the load/unload,
supported by loadable shared libraries which generate symbols and
addresses to be added/removed from the currently-running valgrind,
is the way to go.

The only snag could be, does PE format allow a separate base address
for each "segment", or are all segments fixed relative to each other,
like the PT_LOAD in ET_DYN?
