3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
commit f285f4a21c3253887caceed493089ece17579d59 upstream.
On 64-bit, relocation is not required unless the load address gets changed. Without this, relocations do unexpected things when the kernel is above 4G.
