When using kldxref on kernel modules built with clang8 + lld8,
kldxref would be unable to find the modules metadata information,
because PowerPC64 was using the ef_nop.c implementation of
ef_reloc().
When GNU LD was used, it was also relocating the metadata section of
the .ko file. LLD does not do this, but only generate dynamic
relocations for it. With minor changes, ef_powerpc.c can now work
for PowerPC64 too.

doesn't use the default CFLAGS which contain -fno-strict-aliasing.
Until the code is cleaned up, just add -fno-strict-aliasing to the
CFLAGS of these for the tinderboxes' sake, allowing the rest of the
tree to have -Werror enabled again.
cannot easily be analyzed due to there being no debugger yet.
The SIGSEGV only happens when kldxref is linked shared.
Since kldxref(8) is needed for a release build, having it not
dump core is important.
on variables read out of raw kld files. Unlike other platforms the value
will be in an Elf_Rela, not in the data section of the elf file.
