You're probably being a bit too honest here. :)
The patch looks OK to me as far as it goes, but I count myself
unqualified to ack it. I don't know enough about ARM to say whether
you've set pointer_equality_needed for all the relocs types you
should. It needs to be set whenever you might be taking the address
of a function in non-PIC code or data.
