From: Andrew Pinski <apinski@cavium.com>

This patch reformats the inline-asm in elf_machine_load_address so it is
easier to change only part of the inline-asm.  That is using string
concatenating instead of string continuation.

Also document why this inline-asm works - it depends on the 32bit
relocation being resolved at link time.

ChangeLog:

	* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_load_address):
	Refactor inline-asm.  Also add comment.
