I don't see how that type of relocation can be emitted.
Can you send me one of the smaller of the *.ko files that
have this problem?  Thanks.

I can add the relocation handling to the Sparc module support,
but I don't think it should be necessary in the first place
and looking at a sample module with the problem will help me
figure this out.
