In preparation of making func_desc_t generic, change the ELFv2
version to a struct containing 'addr' element.

This allows using single helpers common to ELFv1 and ELFv2.

There's only 1 element in the struct, so okay, but it hurt my eyes a
little. I would have been happier with:

	return (func_desc_t){ .addr = addr; };

But of course that also looks bonkers because it starts with "return".
So no matter what I do my eyes bug out. ;)

So it's fine either way. :)
