This line could do with a comment saying what it is doing ...
It does need a comment I agree, but I don't think I can do it justice
:)
... I just used what was already there.
Here, have one:
"The TOC register (GPR2) points 32kB into the TOC, so that 64kB
of the TOC can be addressed using a single machine instruction."
or, perhaps simpler:
"The TOC register (GPR2) points 32kB into the TOC, because the
ABI says so."
