Subject: [PATCH v2 00/11] Linker script cleanups for various architectures

Hi Linus,

This patch series contains patches cleaning up the linker scripts on
several architectures (as well as one improvement to the
architecture-independent macros).  Please merge.

PATCH v2 differs from v1 in the following ways:
* I removed the m32r patches as you have a pull request from the m32r
  maintainer containing them.
* I added the lone blackfin patch that I sent you to merge on Tuesday.
* I added the patches for alpha.
* I improved the commit message for the first patch.

This cross-architecture linker script cleanup project is in
preparation for adding support for building the kernel with
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, which is a prerequisite for
Ksplice.

	-Tim Abbott
