1, You can still call it v5, even if it has changed a lot;
2, In my opinion, patch 4,5,7,8 can be combined, but I don't insist if
you have a good reason to separate.
3, If possible, I still prefer to remove old relocation types support,
in order to make life easier, especially for objtool that is queued
for upstream.
