Ard Biesheuvel 1fa8c4b195 ARM: module: implement support for PC-relative group relocations
Add support for the R_ARM_ALU_PC_Gn_NC and R_ARM_LDR_PC_G2 group
relocations [0] so we can use them in modules. These will be used to
load the current task pointer from a global variable without having to
rely on a literal pool entry to carry the address of this variable,
which may have a significant negative impact on cache utilization for
variables that are used often and in many different places, as each
occurrence will result in a literal pool entry and therefore a line in
the D-cache.
