Add a check to preload_search_info to make sure mod is set. Most of the
callers of preload_search_info don't check that the mod parameter is
set, which can cause page faults. While at it, remove some now unnecessary
checks before calling preload_search_info.

attributes for preloaded modules/images. In particular, MODINFO_ADDR has
the added complexity of not always being relocated properly. Rather than
kluging this in the various components that are affected, we handle it
in a centralized place (preload_fetch_addr()). To that end, expose a new
variable, preload_addr_relocate, that MD initialization code can set and
that turns the address attribute into a valid kernel VA.
Architectures that need the relocation: arm & powerpc (at least).
Components that can utilize this: acpi(4), md(4), fb(4), pci(4), ZFS, geli.

should probably be moved to i386/i386/link_machdep.c (and the same for the
alpha).
Implement "deleting" a preloaded module by destroying it's tags. This is a
hack. We cannot reuse the data, it's been destroyed by relocation,
statically initialized variables have been modified, etc. Note that to
reclaim the load space is going to be more machine-dependent work.
Implement a relocate hook for machdep.c to call so that the physical
addresses get converted to the equivalent KVM addresses.
