Hi Shea,

I'm not sure what is the relocation type or program behavior on your situation.

For the code generation, the following relocation types only allow the
target offset in the 32 bit range:
- RISCV_PCREL_HI20
- RISCV_HI20
- RISCV_CALL
- RISCV_CALL_PLT without enabling MODULES_SECTIONS

In my view, we cannot limit the start address of kernel text is always
adjacent to the module region.
