I've done some more digging, the ARM ELF spec 
 http://www.arm.com/armwww.ns4/img/12-Technical+Specs-ARM+ELF+Specification+PDF/$File/ARMELFA08.pdf?OpenElement 

is quite explicit about this in section 4.6 -- the p_vaddr field says where
the image should be loaded, and the p_paddr field is ignored (and set to
zero).
