* There aren't any ELF relocations we can use to endian-swap values known only
* at link time (e.g. the subtraction of two symbol addresses), so we must get
* the linker to endian-swap certain values before emitting them.
*
* Note that, in order for this to work when building the ELF64 PIE executable
* (for KASLR), these values should not be referenced via R_AARCH64_ABS64
* relocations, since these are fixed up at runtime rather than at build time
* when PIE is in effect. So we need to split them up in 32-bit high and low
* words.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `asm/image.h`.
- Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/arm64.
- Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
