The question that needs to answered first is if any other
architectures are affected at all, and if so, which ones.

For example, ARM and MIPS (and probably most others) do *NOT* perform
any relocation at all (this should be fixed, of course - being one of
the big probalems we inherited from the original ARMBoot port), but as
is the whole discussion is a non-isssue on these architectures.

Best regards,
