Details

Summary

Implements R_PPC_ADDR32 handler for kldxref, addressing "kldxref: unhandled relocation type 1" when running "kldxref /boot/kernel" on powerpc 32 bits.
Apparently this relocation appeared after in-tree LLVM compiler upgrade between versions LLVM11 and 13.

In this change added a "where32" variable with type Elf32_Addr when destination is word32 on both 32 or 64 bits and guarded PPC64-only relocation with an ifdef. Comments are welcome.

No change is really needed here, but maybe just cast 'where' to (Elf32_Addr *)?

yes but the cast need to be later since at this point we don't know what data size is going to be used.
Then I preferred to create a new variable here and use it where appropriate, following the pattern used on other architectures.
