not really a regression but a long-standing inconvenience/bug of the debug
symbols of relocatable kernels. (ever since relocatable kernels were added
in '06 or so.) Nevertheless we queued up a revert of the defconfig change
for .29, to not expose it in the defconfig:

f269b07: x86: revert CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y defconfig change

so i think it can be taken off the regressions list.
