Change Details

This isn't quite fully baked yet, and I should probably split it out further. * Change relocatable kernel related #ifdefs to be RELOCATABLE_KERNEL instead of powerpc, to allow for other platforms to use relocatable kernels in the future. * Add powerpc64 ifunc bits. * Add a trick to relocate to the DMAP even on virtual mode OpenFirmware. * Remove DB_STOFFS hack so we start getting a real picture of what's going on with memory addresses on PPC64. * Fix symbol relocation to work as intended by relocating the symbol table values. (XXX need to check if there's a more straightforward way to process this.) * Add a trick to allow self-loading symbol tables on powernv by setting the initrd to load the kernel binary.

This is almost ready, pending some patches it depends on. * Change relocatable kernel related #ifdefs to be RELOCATABLE_KERNEL instead of powerpc, to allow for other platforms to use relocatable kernels in the future. * Add powerpc64 and powerpc32 ifunc bits. * Add a trick to relocate to the DMAP even on virtual mode 64 bit OpenFirmware. (32 bit currently runs identity-mapped and does not need this ability) * Remove DB_STOFFS hack so we start getting a real picture of what's going on with memory addresses on PPC64. * Fix symbol relocation to work as intended by relocating the symbol table values. (XXX need to check if there's a more straightforward way to process this.) * Add a trick to allow self-loading symbol tables on powernv by setting the initrd to load the kernel binary.
