Hi Josh, minor bug:
Note the for loop through the section headers in
klp_write_relocations(), but its calling function ...

... apply_relocations() is also iterating over the section headers (the
diff context doesn't show it here, but i is an incrementing index over
sechdrs[]).
So if there is more than one KLP relocation section, we'll process them
multiple times. At least the x86 relocation code will detect this and
fail the module load with an invalid relocation (existing value not
zero).
