The suggested patch doesn't seem quite right; there are other functions
in dt_module.c with the same assignment (i.e.
"is_elf_obj = ehdr.e_type == ET_REL"), but the same modification is not
correct in all cases - fixing it everywhere breaks stack() again - and
"is_elf_obj" seems like the wrong name if DSOs are counted as well.

The root of the problem is that dmp->dm_*_va offsets don't have the kld
load address taken into account on i386, since they're currently set based
only on the ELF section addresses. This is handled by
dmp->dm_reloc_offset for symbols, but that's a separate case.

When is_elf_obj is true, we include the load address when setting the
dmp->dm_*_va fields. I suggest we do that unconditionally, and only set
elements of dmp->dm_sec_offsets if is_elf_obj is true. This fixes the
bug for me on i386. Any opinions?

Thanks,
