Argh, sorry, you're completely right. I was a bit overzealous with this
change. I'll drop it. In fact, given the very specific things that
parisc does with the .text.* sections, this entire series makes no sense
- it doesn't make sense to change TEXT_TEXT in a way that means parisc
can no longer use it.

Thanks for the review, James.
