Impact: fix of test if an address is 26 bits away or not Paul Mackerras pointed out that the test of the 24bit offset jump was incorrect. For one thing, it is a 26 bit distance since we multiply by 4 to account for the alignment. Another is that it may produce an incorrect result on a negative jump of exactly the offset size.
