Attempting to retrieve an md_cval string from a kernel module with
kldxref would throw a offset error for modules created using lld, since

strings of varying size without attempting to read beyond the segment's
bounds.

means:
o Remove Elf64_Quarter,
o Redefine Elf64_Half to be 16-bit,
o Redefine Elf64_Word to be 32-bit,
o Add Elf64_Xword and Elf64_Sxword for 64-bit entities,
o Use Elf_Size in MI code to abstract the difference between
Elf32_Word and Elf64_Word.
o Add Elf_Ssize as the signed counterpart of Elf_Size.

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.
