[PATCH 1/2] x86_64: Reflect the relocatability of the kernel in the ELF header.

[Eric W. Biederman]

Currently because vmlinux does not reflect that the kernel is relocatable
we still have to support CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START.  So this patch adds a small
c program to do what we cannot do with a linker script set the elf header
type to ET_DYN.

Since last time I have fixed the type to be in my code ET_DYN (oops),
and verified this works with kexec.  I realized while testing that we
don't have anyway of identifying a kernel vmlinux as linux so we
probably want to add an ELF note but that will be another patch.
