757686b115 Make our ELF64 type definitions match standards. In particular this
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.

941fdb393b Add the loader side of support for preloading ELF relocatable object
format modules, which are currently only used on the amd64 platform.
This initial implementation just parses enough of the module to
allow it to extract dependencies and load all the bits into the
right place in memory, so the kernel must still do the full relocation
and linking. The details of the loaded sections are passed to the
kernel by supplying a copy of the ELF section header table as module
metadata with the MODINFOMD_SHDR tag.
