[ELF] - Ignore R_386_NONE.

[grimar]

Summary

R_X86_64_NONE is ignored starting from r288485,
I guess we want to do the same for R_386_NONE ?
Currently we error out this relocation as not supported and
ignoring seems to be correct behavior.

I guess that all psABIs define R_*_NONE relocations. If that's the case, you want to add R_*_NONE relocations for all archs.

I wasn't able to find the semantic of R_X86_64_NONE in (https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/article/402129/mpx-linux64-abi.pdf), I'm pretty sure dtrace (ab)uses of it but that's kind of a special case (not sure if gas can ever emit that). I think it should be clarified (maybe starting a discussion on the psABI mailing list).

How does dtrace use that? I was thinking that the semantics of the relocation is pretty clear -- that is a relocation which doesn't change the target values.

Then why you need to emit a reloc in the first place (if that reloc is de facto a nop)?

See http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=288485&view=rev for the dtrace use.
