[Patch] elfutils patch for relocation type

Those changes are definitely wrong for the non-ia64 cases.  The only relocs
that can be handled here are ones that encode simple absolute values.  It
only matters to handle the flavors that ever actually appear in .debug_*
sections.  Please cite the particular relocs you are having trouble with.

The elfutils tests/dwflmodtest program is an easy way to check
a kernel build's modules for reloc issues.  Use -K <version> for
/lib/modules/<version>, or -K /path for some other location of the
installed modules.


Thanks,
Roland
