Subject: Re: [git pull] x86 updates



Ingo, Thomas,
 should we not do this?

Otherwise, it seems we generate a section that isn't allocated?

I think toolchain should add the right flags automatically for sections 
that start with ".[ro]data" and ".text", but not for the kernel-specific 
".init.*" sections.
