I think we should carefully use those words like "load" and "relocate".

Right if you mean optional header's "ImageBase" by preferred address.

Not 'can', but 'must'.
This is part of "load" operation, using "VirtualAddress" in section headers.
That is why we allocate a permanent space of 'virt_size' for this image.

If you mean moving sections by "relocation", it's not true.
What Alex's efi_loader_relocate() does is that all the slots listed
in optional header's relocation information (data directory) be
updated depending on a loaded address (that is, the first address of
allocated space).

What is passed to efi_load_pe() is just a temporary buffer

and we have to load it to the final destination and relocate it
(or more precisely recalculate addresses/offsets) as I said above.
