This patchset originally implemented relocatable kernel support but now also moves the kernel mapping into the vmalloc zone.
The first patch explains why we need to move the kernel into vmalloc zone (instead of memcpying it around). That patch should ease KASLR implementation a lot. The second patch allows to build relocatable kernels but is not selected by default. The third patch takes advantage of an already existing powerpc script that checks relocations at compile-time, and uses it for riscv.
