When processing the relocation table, the offset used to calculate the
relocation is an 'int'. This is sufficient for calculating the physical
address of the relocs entry on 32-bit systems and on 64-bit systems when
the relocation is under 2G.
To handle relocations above 2G (seen in situations like kexec, netboot, etc),
this offset needs to be calculated using a 'long' to avoid wrapping and
miscalculating the relocation.
