this patch (namely 045fa1e1142552799ad3203e9e0bc22a11e866ea) seems to
break avr32 on runtime. It seems there is a new array introduced (the
fstypes array in fs/fs.c) which do not provide a relocation method
(CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC). This is currently only a weak assumption,
but has any other requiring manual relocation m86k, mips, nds32m sparc)
also encountered this problem?

I currently think this should be manually relocated for those arches
which need the manual relocation.
