[PATCH v3 0/5] Linker script cleanup patches for x86

[Tim Abbott]

This is an updated version of the patch series I sent on September 8
cleaning up the x86 architecture's linker scripts.  The only change is
that it is rebased on top of Linus's current master.

This cross-architecture linker script cleanup project is in
preparation for adding support for building the kernel with
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, which is a prerequisite for
Ksplice.
