Hello,

Following patches are the general improvements that came out of my
attempt to add LLD 8 support.

I've now put on hold the addition of LLD 8 support, since according to
LLD documentation it should mimic GNU ld behaviour, but that's clearly
not the case with orphan sections in linker scripts. Until this is
resolved, either by fixing LLD 8 behavior or updating the documentation,
I don't foresee LLD 8 support in Xen.

  x86/linker: use DECL_SECTION uniformly
  x86: check for multiboot{1,2} header presence
  x86/linker: add a reloc section to ELF binary
