It might have been relocatable, but not actually relocated (except
perhaps for the kdump case).

If we treat the more eagerly relocatable kernel uniformly with respect
to always relocatable modules, we'll need to find a way of locating
all the sections of vmlinux at run time.  For modules, we do this by
traversing /sys/modules/*.  It would be easiest and perhaps most
robust to have the kernel list itself in there.
