This series implements support for emitting the data structures associated
with jump tables as 32-bit relative references instead of absolute
references, which take up more space on builds that target 64-bit
architectures, or implement self relocation [or both].

This series enables it for arm64 and x86, although other architectures
might benefit as well.
Hello Ard,

feel free to add the patch below which adds support for s390 to your series.
Thanks, I will incorporate it into v3 and beyond.
Just a quick status check! :) What're your plans for this series? I'd
still love to see it.
