Instead of emitting them as absolute values in the native word size,
emit the symbol references in the kallsyms table as 32-bit entries,
- each containing a relative value in the range [base, base + U32_MAX]
- or, when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, each containing either
- an absolute value in the range [0, S32_MAX] or a relative value in the
- range [base, base + S32_MAX], where base is the lowest relative symbol
- address encountered in the image.
+ each containing a relative value in the range [base, base + U32_MAX].

On 64-bit builds, this reduces the size of the address table by 50%,
but more importantly, it results in entries whose values are build
