Thank you for the patch and for the suggestion.
 
It was possible to change auto import implementation while looking
for strong evidence by using a similar approach,
rel->r_type = IMAGE_REL_ARM64_ABSOLUTE.

It might change later, however for now it can stay like this.
However as a personal opinion, "rel->r_type = IMAGE_REL_ARM64_ABSOLUTE"
looks like a workaround and "rel->r_ignore = 1" looks more clear
on what happens.
