I expected that the code below would reverse the operations
in apply_relocate_add() for case R_PPC_REL24. But it is not
obvious for me.
It might be because I am not familiar with the code. Or would
it deserve some comments?

It would make the review easier when the order of 1st and 2nd
patch was swaped. I mean that I would not need to check twice
that the two functions actually share the same code.

I was not able to check correctness of the ppc and s390 parts.
Otherwise, it looks good to me.
