Here's the patch with proper changelog, etc. I don't have XIP capable
hardware to test it with though.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: proc-v7*.S: don't locate temporary stack space in .text section
Both proc-v7.S and proc-v7m.S are using a small temporary stack to
preserve register content within their respective setup code. This
stack is located in the .text section which is normally meant to be
read-only. This is even more true in the context of an XIP kernel
where .text is accessed from ROM directly.
Move that temporary stack to the .bss section and get its address in
a position independent way.
While at it, one comments was updated to reflect reality, and the list
of saved registers in the proc-v7.S case is updated to match the comment
next to it for coherency.
