[PATCH v2 09/13] arm64: avoid R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations for Image header fields

[ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org (Ard Biesheuvel)]

Unfortunately, the current way of using the linker to emit build time
constants into the Image header will no longer work once we switch to
the use of PIE executables. The reason is that such constants are emitted
into the binary using R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations, which we will resolve
at runtime, not at build time, and the places targeted by those
relocations will contain zeroes before that.

So move back to assembly time constants or R_AARCH64_ABS32 relocations
(which, interestingly enough, do get resolved at build time)
