Considerations when using a relative address +offset for load regions

Be aware of the following when using +offset to specify a load region base address:

If the +offset load region LR2 follows a load region LR1 containing ZI data, then LR2 overlaps the ZI data. To fix this, use the ImageLimit() function to specify the base address of LR2.
A +offset load region LR2 inherits the attributes of the load region LR1 immediately before it, unless:
- LR1 has the OVERLAY attribute
- LR2 has an explicit attribute set.
If a load region is unable to inherit an attribute, then it gets the attribute ABSOLUTE.
