This patch series implements build-time fixup of alternate feature
relative addresses for powerpc.
Previously, Nicholas Piggin proposed a build-time solution using a
custom PowerPC tool [1], which provided the foundation for this approach.
The current implementation leverages objtool's existing ELF parsing
infrastructure to do the same.
This patchset applies atop powerpc/merge branch.
[1] Original PowerPC tool approach:

Testing:
Build and Boot tested on ppc64le, ppc64be, and ppc32be configs.
