ATM on mainline master branch only five ARM cpus (arm926ejs, arm1136,
arm1176, armv7 and pxa) have ELF relocation support. Others still use
GOT relocation (or the older fixed-location scheme maybe), which IIUC
means all boards using these other cpus are broken unless a maintainer
gets patches pulled in to support ELF relocs.

I therefore propose that V5 of my patch fixes arm926ejs, armv7, arm1136,
arm1176 and pxa only, and leave the ten other ARM cpus untouched. Board
maintainers who want to fix their board support for ELF relocs may have
to also fix their cpu if it is not yet.

Does everyone agree?

Amicalement,
