This pr adds support for loading position independent kernels with a base address other than 0.
Currently the base address is ignored. In the future, we could try to map the kernel at it's base address if it's non zero. Doing this right now would be difficult because we don't have accurate book keeping on what addresses have already been allocated (See #239). I propose we take another look at this once finer granular ASLR is implemented (finer granular ASLR requires more accurate book keeping).
Closes #285
