That sounds good to me.  2 additional comments:
1. Might be nice to move the jumptable to the beginning of the
global_data struct when we increment XF_VERSION.

2. Depending on when you merge the reloc branch, it would be nice for
people to give the patch in "[PATCH/RFC] arm/microblaze/nios/nios2/sh:
Remove relocation fixups" a try.  It should reduce the bloat on some
other arches and will put pressure on other, non-relocatable arches to
fix relocation:)

Best,
Peter
