If you are booting a vmlinux you read the ELF header.  The ELF header

Yes, but if you keep the startup_32 and it will be at 0x200000, and
startup_64 will be 0x200100. and entry point in ELF header is
0x200100.
by removing startup_32, startup_64 will be 0x200000. and entry point
in ehdr is 0x200000.
So I assume entry_point in elf_header could be used by 64bit
bootloader and phdr[1].p_addr could be used by 32bit boot loader.
