+    libdwfl/linux-kernel-modules.c (report_kernel): Pass add_p_vaddr as true.
+    
+    On some architectures (e.g. x86_64) the vmlinux is ET_EXEC, while on
+    others (e.g. ppc64) it is ET_DYN.  In both cases the phdr p_vaddr will
+    be non-zero.  We want the image to be placed as if it was ET_DYN, so
+    pass true for add_p_vaddr which will do the right thing (in combination
+    with a zero base) in either case.
