I see, the relocations happen in pairs then - lower order and high order bits. Is that correct?

Yes, for OpenRISC as there are no instructions with a 32-bit immediate so we use 2 high and low order relocations. However, on machines like x86 they have variable width instructions and support 32-bit relocations, they can get by with a single relocation entry.
