Currently because vmlinux does not reflect that the kernel is relocatable
we still have to support CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START. So this patch adds a small
c program to do what we cannot do with a linker script set the elf header
type to ET_DYN.
Since last time I have fixed the type to be in my code ET_DYN (oops),
and verified this works with kexec. I realized while testing that we
don't have anyway of identifying a kernel vmlinux as linux so we
probably want to add an ELF note but that will be another patch.
