If I'm reading the above hunk correctly, this means we will randomize
all PIEs and even all dynamic linkers invoked as executables on i?86 and
x86_64, and on the rest of arches we won't randomize at all, instead
load ET_DYN objects at ELF_ET_DYN_BASE address.

But I don't see anything i?86/x86_64 specific on this.

What would make much more sense to me would be conditionalizing on
whether we are loading a dynamic linker (in which case loading it
at ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is desirable or not (PIEs, ...; and for PIEs we
want to randomize on all architectures).

So something like
if (elf_interpreter)
load_bias = 0;
else
/* Probably dynamic linker invoked as
/lib*/ld*so* program args - load at
ELF_ET_DYN_BASE. */
load_bias = ELF_PAGESTART(ELF_ET_DYN_BASE - vaddr);
instead of
#ifdef CONFIG_X86
load_bias = 0;
#else
load_bias = ELF_PAGESTART(ELF_ET_DYN_BASE - vaddr);
#endif
