  Log:
  Add __elfN(relocation_offset). It holds the offset between the virtual
  (link) address and the physical (load) address. Ideally, the mapping
  between link and load addresses should be abstracted by the copyin(),
  copyout() and readin() functions, so that we don't have to add kluges
  in __elfN(loadimage)(). Then, we could also have paged virtual memory
  for the kernel. This can be important under EFI, where you need to
  allocate physical memory form the firmware if you want to work in all
  scenarios.
