This maps 0x10000000 and reads ExeFS:/.code there, then decompresses it if needed. It uses the exheader information to find how many pages to allocate for each section (text,rodata,data).

This is different from how the sysmodules (fs,loader,etc) are loaded. The size field for those modules are actually used as-specified. This then uses svcCreateCodeSet and then svcCreateProcess.
