[Bug translator/11074] loc2c/vta: synthetic address range warning/error during -p4 for dwarf const_value

It appears as though the const_value encoded in dwarf is a pointer to global
data in the kernel, and thus subject to relocation even though vmlinux is
ET_EXEC.

(gdb) p/x 3231800064
$1 = 0xc0a15b00

% nm -S vmlinux | sort| grep c0a1
...
c0a13a34 00000004 D x86_cpu_to_apicid_early_ptr
c0a13a38 00000004 D x86_bios_cpu_apicid_early_ptr
c0a13a40 00002d80 D contig_page_data
c0a167c0 00000498 d pci_serial_quirks
c0a16c58 00000014 d pcmcia_bus_interface
c0a16c6c 0000000c d cpufreq_cpu_notifier
...

So it's as if we must infer a need for _stp_relocate for
such values for the kernel, but probably only if the 
dwarf type is that of a pointer.  Ugh.
