    stand/common/load_elf: Do kernel module relocations for PPC
    
    reloc_ptr() skips relocations for the kernel module, because on most
    platforms the kernel is ET_EXEC and this is not required.  On PPC,
    the kernel is ET_DYN and we need to relocate here, otherwise the
    module metadata will not be loaded properly and the kernel module
    will have an incorrect version, preventing module dependencies from
    resolving.
    
    This fixes loading kernel modules from loader.conf on powerpc.
