	Apparently when I originally wrote this I confused myself to no end. The code/data of an rmodule has a set memory size which is associated with the .payload section. The relocation entries may increase the overall footprint of the memory size if the rmodule has no bss but a lot of relocations. Therefore, just compare relocation entries size plus the file size of the .payload section with the memory size of the paylod section. The .empty section is added only when we have not met the final target size.

2014-03-20	util: add rmodtool for parsing ELF files to rmodules	Aaron Durbin
	The current implementation of creating rmodules relies on invoking the linker in a certain manner with the relocations overlaid on the BSS section. It's not really surprising that the linker doesn't always behave the way one wants depending on the linker used and the architecture. Instead, introduce rmodtool which takes an ELF file as an input, parses it, and creates a new ELF file in the format the rmodule loader expects.
