[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] x86: detect unsupported relocation types

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Currently we support only relocations of type ELF64_R_TYPE or ELF32_R_TYPE.
We should be warned if other relocation types appear in the relocation
sections.

This type of message has helped to identify code overwriting a relocation
section before relocation and incorrect parsing of relocation tables.
