Annoyingly, the following is required on top of this patch to ensure
that we only subtract the section VMA from the symbol value in modpost
if we are dealing with a fully linked file. This is necessary since,
as it turns out, partially linked ELF objects may have non-zero
section VMAs (for whatever reason).
