Even the 8 KB ATmegas do have it (the AT90S8xxx didn't), but the 8 KB
devices don't require it.

Yep.  But it's not that much of a burden for the linker.  On the pro
side, the instruction still fits into one word of flash, while the
absolute JUMP/CALL instructions (that are needed for the > 8 KB
devices unless you can be sure you're within short distance) use two
words of flash (and thus also require one more clock cycle).
