After much code archeology and some testing I've determined that the
actual problem is that we're setting preload_addr_relocate to a non-zero
value at all.  That should only be done when ubldr passes physical
addresses in metadata, but for arm it always passes virtual addresses.
I think that changed (maybe by accident) a while back in ubldr and the
kernel side didn't get fixed to match until now.

So, as of r283033 it should work right.
