Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: fix build with older binutils
Impact: build fix
binutils prior to 2.17 can't deal with the currently possible situation
of a new segment following the per-CPU segment, but that new segment
being empty - objcopy misplaces the .bss (and perhaps also the .brk)
sections outside of any segment. However, the current ordering of
sections really just appears to be the effect of cumulative unrelated
changes; re-ordering things allows to easily guarantee that the segment
following the per-CPU one is non-empty, and at once eliminates the need
for the bogus data.init2 segment.
