Let's not duplicate asm/elf.h.
I have a patch to split the reloc types out into a separate header we
can reuse from assembly -- I'll send that momentarily. We can add
R_AARCH64_RELATIVE atop of that.

We need to clean each of these relocated instructions to the PoU to be
visible for I-cache fetches.
As this is normal-cacheable we can post the maintenance with a DC CVAU
immediately after the store (no barriers necessary), and rely on the DSB
at 2f to complete all of those.

Then we need:
ic iallu
dsb nsh
isb
To make sure the I-side is consistent with the PoU.
As secondaries will do similarly in __enable_mmu we don't need to add
any code for them.

At this point it may make sense to split this out into a separate
function. If the handshake is more involved we'll need more code to
verify this, and it'd be nice to split that from setup_arch.

This change should probably be a preparatory patch.
Otherwise, looks good!
Thanks,
Mark.
