[RFC PATCH 07/35] Make LOAD_OFFSET defined by subarch

[Chris Wright]

Change LOAD_OFFSET so that the kernel has virtual addresses in the elf header fields.

Unlike bare metal kernels, Xen kernels start with virtual address
management turned on and thus the addresses to load to should be
virtual addresses.
