+ bool "Build a relocatable kernel"
+ help
+ This builds a kernel image that is capable of running anywhere
+ in the RMA (real memory area) at any 16k-aligned base address.
+ The kernel is linked as a position-independent executable (PIE)
+ and contains dynamic relocations which are processed early
+ in the bootup process.
+
+ One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
+ must live at a different physical address than the primary
+ kernel.
