Valgrind complains about an uninitialized variable in
create-klp-module.c:
==4412== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==4412== at 0x402846: main (create-klp-module.c:497)
This warning refers to main()'s struct arguments stack variable,
precisely its .no_klp_arch member. Initialize the entire structure to
zero to avoid complaint.

The create_klp_relasecs_and_syms() function assumes that all dest
symbols are bundled, i.e. each symbol is located at offset 0 in its own
section.
However that may not always be the case. Unbundled symbols can occur,
for example, when combining two .o files which have the same bundled
symbol. They will be combined into the same section and will no longer
be considered "bundled".

With gcc-6 the function prologue is changeg by
moving the toc base resolution func - 0x8 bytes:
.globl my_func
.type my_func, @function
.quad .TOC.-my_func
my_func:
.reloc ., R_PPC64_ENTRY ; optional
ld r2,-8(r12)
add r2,r2,r12
.localentry my_func, .-my_func
Add support for function prologue, along with gcc-5.

This patch adds support for livepatch hook based module
creation for PPC64le. It introduces PPC64le architecture
bits:
- Add relocation type of R_PPC64_ADDR64 while parsing powerpc ELF.
- Introduce .toc sections mainpulation.
- Skip kpatch specific details for livepatch hook.
Also remove the definition of rela_insn() for powerpc. The only
call site is been guarded by #ifdef x86.

Add a new program, create-klp-module, that, given a built module (.ko),
will create a patch module with klp rela sections, klp arch sections, and
klp symbols.
