The problem happens when there's related changes already in others git
trees which clash or conflict with those changes.

This whole CONFIG_ZRELADDR thing seems like a step backwards towards a
situation where we will get conflicts with multiple changes - but without
gaining anything substantial in moving away from Makefile.boot.

Unless someone can come up with a real justification for CONFIG_ZRELADDR
I'm mindful to revert it.  (But - if people have sent these changes to
Linus already, that's going to make reverting it a lot harder.)
