Change LOAD_OFFSET so that the kernel has virtual addresses in the elf header fields.
Unlike bare metal kernels, Xen kernels start with virtual address
management turned on and thus the addresses to load to should be
virtual addresses.
This patch interferes with using a traditional bootloader. The loader
for Xen should be smarter - it already has VIRT_BASE from the xen_guest
section, and can simply add the relocation to these header fields. This
is unnecessary, and one of the many reasons a Xen kernel can't run in a
normal environment.
