This hardly 'writes' anything, all it does is a bswap.

And for that you need a weak function? What's wrong with an inline if
anything?

Why can't this simply be:
orc->ra_offset = bswap_if_needed(elf, orc->ra_offset);
AFAICT this won't actually do anything for x86 and I don't think Power
got around to doing ORC yet.

Again, not much explaination for why you did things
