Now arch-specific functions all do the same thing. When it fixes the
symbol address it needs to check the boundary between the kernel image
and modules. For the last symbol in the previous region, it cannot
know the exact size as it's discarded already. Thus it just uses a
small page size (4096) and rounds it up like the last symbol.
