dracut uses fixed offsets for the sections to be placed in memory in. The values are simply hardcoded, literally specified address offsets, that worked for the original authors. This typically works – as long as your sections are not much larger than they were for the people wo came up with these offsets initially. But as it turns out this doesn't work for some cases. In such cases the sections will be loaded into memory overlapped and bad things happen. ukify hence calculates the offsets manually (by adding up the section sizes so that this cannot happen.
