Completely untrue.  Bank switching is required when you go back and forth
between locations in different banks.  This has nothing to do with absolute
versus relocatable mode.

You generally do assume that anything outside the current module can be in
another code page.  However, that is only because you have the option of
letting the linker place the modules.  If you really want to, you can force
specific modules to specific pages, then not include PCLATH diddling when
you go between modules known to be on the same page.

This is no worse than absolute mode where you manually allocate the location
of everything.  At least with modules on fixed pages in relocatable mode you
can still gurantee that no code section crosses a page boundary.  There is
no way to automatically guarantee that in absolute mode.
