+ This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
+ so it can be loaded at an arbitrary address.
+ The kernel is linked as a position-independent executable (PIE)
+ and contains dynamic relocations which are processed early in the
+ bootup process.
+ The relocations make the kernel image about 15% larger (compressed
+ 10%), but are discarded at runtime.
