Yeah, I should have added that prefix.

We have a default implementation for !CONFIG_RELOC, but if an arch
selects RELOC it must have an implementation of base_address(), so
I wouldn't introduce a HAVE_ARCH_BASE_ADDRESS type of config since
it would just always be selected when RELOC is selected. It occurred
to me after posting that I probably should have just made the current
base_address() implementation weak and then only introduced the new
riscv one. I'll do that for v2.
