It might be more useful to convert this to the new style annotations, which should be a separate patch.

This bit sounds like cleanup, but I can't isolate it from the noise below.... > Call raw_dcache_line_size() only when relocation is actually going to > happen. Why? The pattern in this code is to setup register that don't change at the top, then do all the work. I think this was an attempt to make it more readable. Nothing branches back to that label, so this is fine, its just less obviously correct. > Since '.align 3' is intended to align globals at the end of the file, > move it there. Please don't make noisy changes to whitespace and comments, its never worth it.
