Subject: [PATCH 2/6] mn10300: Drop unused .data.idt section.

Since nothing gets put into .data.idt on this architecture, eliminate
it from the linker script.

This change was apparently proposed previously:
<http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.2/2538.html>

CCing the author and people who acked that patch in case there was a
reason it wasn't applied.
