Overall this is looking good, and I think your decision to make the
internal units for p_vaddr, p_paddr and sh_addr octets has worked out
well.

But it looks like you have missed a few places that need an octet per
byte factor.  eg. elf.c search for filehdr_vaddr.  Symbol values for
an address are in bytes, at least internally.  There's another one at
around line 7190 of elf.c where we have a comparison of an expression
involving p_vaddr and a section vma.  That one raises the question of
what to do with alignment.  Presumably, section->alignment_power stays
in bytes since it is most often used with section->vma.  So that's
another thing that needs converting if used to align p_vaddr/p_paddr.

Also elfcode.h bfd_from_remote_memory uses p_vaddr without converting
to bytes.

Also search for phdr_lma in elf.c.  IS_CONTAINED_BY_LMA needs a fix
too, and this in elf.c "map->p_paddr = matching_lma->lma" and the
alignment a little later.

You also need to correct code in bfd_elf_final_link using sh_addr when
setting up DT_REL/DT_RELA.  There's a comparison between sh_addr and
vma.

The following in elf32-rx.c where octets per byte is always one (and
thus the file needs no change) is bogus, please remove, and the change
to elf64-ia64-vms.c too:

If you're worrying about about the units of p_vaddr and p_paddr in
this file by introducing OCTETS_PER_BYTE, then the above two lines
need a conversion too, and other places in the file.

I'm also wondering about relocations, symbols and dynamic tags with
address values.  Does r_offset specify bytes or octets in the ELF
file?  If octets, then do we convert in elf_swap_reloca_in/out making
internal r_offset in bytes which should be most convenient since it is
often used with section vma?  How about r_addend and st_value?
Anyway, those can be left for a later patch if necessary.
