I think we only need nmethod relocations for finding oops and patchable call sites. I don't think we need to keep relocations like external_word_type and runtime_call_type normally (except for Leyden).

You are correct. But we need them for Leyden which is coming sooner or later. And I even added more external_word_type in Leyden repository which were missed.
