Does this handle AA=1 correctly at all?  That is valid both with and
without relocations, just like AA=0.  Same for AA=1 LK=0 btw.

If you only handle AA=0, the code should explicitly test for that.
The code does test for AA=0 LK=1 with the if statement there?
Yes, but that is not what I said :-)

It may be fine to not *handle* AA=1 at all, but the code should at least
scream bloody murder when it encounters it anyway :-)
