[RFT/RFC PATCH 0/6] ARM kernel size fixes

[Ard Biesheuvel]

This series is a suggested approach to preventing linker failures on large
kernels. It is somewhat unpolished, and posted for comments/testing primarily.

The issues were found and reported by Arnd Bergmann, and these patches are
loosely based on his initial approach to work around them.

Ard Biesheuvel (6):
  ARM: replace PROCINFO embedded branch with relative offset
  ARM: move HYP text to end of .text section
  ARM: add macro to perform far branches (b/bl)
  ARM: use bl_far to call __hyp_stub_install_secondary from the .data
    section
  ARM: move the .idmap.text section closer to .head.text
  ARM: keep .text and .fixup regions together
