* - @c page_rva — RVA of the 4 KB page that the following entries apply to.
* - @c block_size — total byte size of this block including the header and
* all entries (minimum 8 bytes for the header alone).
* - @c entry — one or more 16-bit relocation entries packed as
* TYPE (4 bits) | OFFSET (12 bits); TYPE=0 / OFFSET=0
* is a no-op padding entry used to 32-bit-align the block.
*
* Marked @c packed to suppress any padding the compiler might insert between
* fields; @c aligned(4) ensures the block sits on a 4-byte boundary as
* required by the PE loader.

/**
* @brief Minimal @c .reloc section stub to satisfy UEFI firmware loaders.
*
* Some UEFI implementations (notably certain hardware vendor firmware and
* strict OVMF builds) refuse to load a PE32+ image that lacks a Base
* Relocation Directory entry in the optional-header Data Directory. Even
* for monolithic position-independent images that require no run-time fix-ups,
* the presence of the @c .reloc section with a well-formed (but empty)
* relocation block is required to pass the firmware's image validation.
*
* This single statically-allocated @c reloc_block satisfies the requirement:
* - @c page_rva = 0 — applies to the first 4 KB page (convention for stubs).
* - @c block_size = sizeof(reloc_block) — minimal well-formed block (8 bytes
* + 2 bytes for the single no-op entry = 10 bytes).
* - @c entry = 0 — TYPE=0 (absolute, no-op) / OFFSET=0; ignored by the loader.
*
* The @c used attribute prevents the compiler/linker from discarding the
* symbol as unreferenced; the @c section(".reloc") attribute places it
* in the named PE section so the linker emits the correct Data Directory.
