On some architectures (e.g. x86_64) the vmlinux is ET_EXEC, while on
others (e.g. ppc64) it is ET_DYN. In both cases the phdr p_vaddr will
be non-zero. We want the image to be placed as if it was ET_DYN, so
pass true for add_p_vaddr which will do the right thing (in combination
with a zero base) in either case.
I pushed this and will also backport it to the fedora elfutils package
since it fixes an issue on ppc64 the systemtap hackers are seeing.
