Thanks! And there is no need in hacks with relocations in this case: in
link_elf_load_file() it just allocates space in kernel 'set_vnet' set for
'set_vnet' from the module and sets addr to point to this space.

As the fix appears to be link_elf.c specific and the code is used only in this
file I have modified the patch placing set_vnet list and its functions in
link_elf.c.
