Sorry I wasn't clear on this, but I have no plan to define an arm64
specific LOAD_OFFSET.  This patch was intended to add consistency
to the output section definitions in the arm64 linker script, and to
also make the output section definitions in the arm64 linker script
consistent with the way other architectures have their output sections
defined.

If this is not enough motivation for you to be interested in this,
then I won't bother to send out that updated patch.  Please let me
know.
