If I understand correctly it already is relocatable. This is simply the
address that uboot is instructed to load the kernel into memory at.

Likewise, this is the address uboot is instructed to load the kernel at.
My naive understanding is that uboot loads the header, analyzes it,
then loads the rest of the file based on the content of that header. If
the header instructs uboot to load the kernel into non-existent memory
it not operate correctly.
