[RFC v3 PATCH 3/4] Apply relocation info to vmlinux

Apply relocation

This code is a wrapper around regular kernel. This checks whether the
kernel is loaded at 32MB, if its not loaded at 32MB, its treated as a
regular kernel and the control is given to the kernel immediately. If
the kernel is loaded at 32MB, it applies relocation delta to each offset
in the list which was generated and appended by patch 1 and 2. After
updating all offsets, control is given to relocatable kernel.
