Can you add a comment saying why this special handling is only
needed for BFD_RELOC_MIPS16_JMP?  Would it work if we removed the
code above and at the same time removed the special "*valP = 0;"
case in md_apply_fix3?  (This may be a daft question -- I haven't
tried. ;))

It just seems odd on the face of it that what is now a
_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc
