For patches 1-9:

Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>

To make the last patch legit we could just have reloc_offset(),
reloc_addend(), reloc_type() helpers to abstract access to rela/rel
fields.

And I'm sure there are other savings we could do to struct reloc, like
single-linked lists, bitfields, etc.

Let me know if you want me to do it.
