In linux kernel since version 2.6.20 (release Date: 2007-02-04)
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.
