Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] ia64: Clean up linker script using standard macros.

From: Nelson Elhage <nelhage@...lice.com>

Aside from using fewer output sections and moving some data around,
the main side effect of this change is changing the alignment of some
sections. In particular:

* cachline-aligned and read_mostly data are now aligned to
  SMP_CACHE_BYTES. (Previously, they were laid out consecutively after
  a PAGE_SIZE alignment)
* .init.ramfs is now page-aligned, per the INIT_RAM_FS
  macro. (Previously it had no explicit alignment).
