Yes.

Current practice has "_end" appended to whatever the labels delimit -- 
same as for "_start".

Besides, the "relocated" part would be inexact; what matters here is the 
loading, or copying, of the image, not its relocation (and actually BSS 
is kind-of-relocated, as references to BSS from text or data may be the 
target of a relocation record).

So I would suggest "__image_load_end" or "__image_copy_end".
