[PATCH] relocatable kernel: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbols

Browse Source 
Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text
so that ld will generate relocations.  Allowing a relocatable
kernel to relocate them.  We can't actually use the symbol names
because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported
from their object files.

Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't
define it otherwise linker will fail.
