Before updating certain subsystems to use place relative 32-bit
relocations in special sections, to save space and reduce the
number of absolute relocations that need to be processed at runtime
by relocatable kernels, introduce a new Kconfig symbol and define it
for some architectures that should be able to support and benefit
from it.

+ May be selected by an architecture if it supports place-relative
+ 32-bit relocations, both in the toolchain and in the module loader,
+ in which case relative references can be used in special sections
+ for PCI fixup, initcalls etc which are only half the size on 64 bit
