SmartOS OS-7625

On a Dell R510 in EFIBoot, we see:

Loading /os/20190122T132623Z/platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix...
Loading /os/20190122T132623Z/platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive...

Loading /kernel/drv/dtrace.conf...
Loading /etc/system...
Booting...
panic: Could not find memory for relocater

--> Press a key on the console to reboot <--

because of

ok memmap
                   Type     Physical      Virtual   #Pages Attr
       BootServicesData 000000010000 000000000000 00000090 UC WC WT WB 
       BootServicesData 000000100000 000000000000 00003f00 UC WC WT WB 
     ConventionalMemory 000004000000 000000000000 0008ebc3 UC WC WT WB

Instead, we'll just allocate the relocator pages from loader's heap, as this seems a lot less
likely to intersect the kernel load region.
