alpha: fix R_ALPHA_LITERAL reloc for large modules

Previously, R_ALPHA_LITERAL relocations would overflow for large kernel
modules.

This was because the Alpha's apply_relocate_add was relying on the kernel's
module loader to have sorted the GOT towards the very end of the module as it
was mapped into memory in order to correctly assign the global pointer. While
this behavior would mostly work fine for small kernel modules, this approach
would overflow on kernel modules with large GOT's since the global pointer
would be very far away from the GOT, and thus, certain entries would be out of
range.

This patch fixes this by instead using the Tru64 behavior of assigning the
global pointer to be 32KB away from the start of the GOT. The change made
in this patch won't work for multi-GOT kernel modules as it makes the
assumption the module only has one GOT located at the beginning of .got,
although for the vast majority kernel modules, this should be fine. Of the
kernel modules that would previously result in a relocation error, none of
them, even modules like nouveau, have even come close to filling up a single
GOT, and they've all worked fine under this patch.

Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is

It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the

[PATCH] alpha: process_reloc_for_got confuses r_offset and r_addend

arch/alpha/kernel/module.c:process_reloc_for_got(), which figures out how big
the .got section for a module should be, appears to be confusing r_offset (the
file offset that the relocation needs to be applied to) with r_addend (the
offset of the relocation's actual target address from the address of the
relocation's symbol). Because of this, one .got entry is allocated for each
relocation instead of one each unique symbol/addend.

In the module I am working with, this causes the .got section to be almost 10
times larger than it needs to be (75544 bytes instead of 7608 bytes). As the
.got is accessed with global-pointer-relative instructions, it needs to be
within the 64k gp "zone", and a 75544 byte .got clearly does not fit. The
result of this is that relocation overflows are detected during module load
and the load is aborted.

Change struct got_entry/process_reloc_for_got to fix this.

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early

infrastructure for it.
