Research direction

Start in the igvm crate by locating the existing x64 relocation-header definitions and their parsing and page-table fixup paths. Compare the naming and structures needed for arm64, then identify the relevant architecture tests or validation commands. Done means arm64 relocation headers are parsed and fixed up consistently with the supported x64 behavior.
