In order to (eventually...) support normalization of kernel addresses, we need to take into account whether the running kernel has address space layout randomization enabled. If that is the case, we will need to incorporate the randomization offset in the normalization process. This change introduces the necessary logic for reading said offset, so that it can be used down the line.
This change builds on all the infrastructure we added for making the ELF parser optionally work with using regular I/O APIs instead of relying on memory mapping.
