s390/kernel: build a relocatable kernel
This patch adds support for building a relocatable kernel with -fPIE. The kernel will be relocated to 0 early in the boot process. Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Philipp Rudo <prudo@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

+ This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
+ so it can be loaded at an arbitrary address.
+ The kernel is linked as a position-independent executable (PIE)
+ and contains dynamic relocations which are processed early in the
+ bootup process.
+ The relocations make the kernel image about 15% larger (compressed
+ 10%), but are discarded at runtime.
