The addend extraction code is identical for all of the MOV* relocations. I think it should be possible to do:
```
case R_AARCH64_MOVW_UABS_G0:
case R_AARCH64_MOVW_UABS_G0_NC:
case R_AARCH64_MOVW_UABS_G1:
case R_AARCH64_MOVW_UABS_G1_NC:
case R_AARCH64_MOVW_UABS_G2:
case R_AARCH64_MOVW_UABS_G2_NC:
case R_AARCH64_MOVW_UABS_G3:
  return SignExtend64<16>(getBits(read32(buf), 5, 20));
```
