[PATCH 13/14] x86: make CONFIG_RELOCATABLE the default

From: H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com>

Remove the EXPERIMENTAL tag from CONFIG_RELOCATABLE and make it the
default.  Relocatable kernels have been used for a while now, and
should now have identical semantics to non-relocatable kernels when
loaded by a non-relocating bootloader.

 	  This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
 	  so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
