This is not the place to enforce that kind of thing.  If
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is only supported on one platform, then do:

    config RELOCATABLE
        depends on 44x

and take the 44x reference out of the #ifdef.

...but please first rename the existing, different CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
behavior that is currently supported on e500.

Scott,

I have renamed the new type of relocation to RELOCATABLE_PPC32_PIE. The
patches
were posted yesterday. Please let me know your thoughts.

I think it would make more sense to rename the existing behavior (maybe
something like DYNAMIC_MEMSTART -- if there's even enough overhead to
make it worth being configurable at all), since it's not fully
relocatable and since 64-bit already uses RELOCATABLE to mean PIE.
