This is plain wrong. This has been explained a couple of times before. Please read the archives. > * Relocation adds un-necessary additional overhead when > it's not needed.

I tend to reject your patch, unless you can come up with really convincing arguments. Also, your patch should then work for all boards - not only ARM, but also PowerPC (one of the arguments for relocation was that we want to unify the code).
