It's ancient, and mostly not used any more.
One place that does still use it is monitor.c::monitor_load (q.v.)
The second argument was a base address or offset where
you wanted the load to be relocated. This was basically
a hold-over from the days of a.out (in which the sections
were assumed to start at zero).
There was once a GNU extension called b.out, which was
a.out plus a section load offset.
Everything since coff has allowed an individual offset
per section to be specified.
