[PATCH v4 0/2] Linker script cleanup patches for arm

This is an updated version of the patch series I sent in late July
cleaning up the arm architecture's linker scripts.  Version 2 was
rebased on top of Linus's current master; version 3 contains a fix for
a problem with CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL noted by Russell King.  Version 4
differs from version 3 only in being rebased on top of Linus' 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.
