Subject: [PATCH] [ARM] Use AT() in the linker script to create correct
 program headers

The standard linux asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h already supports this,
and it seems other architectures do as well.

The goal is to create an ELF file that has correct program headers. We
want to see the VirtAddr be the runtime address of the kernel with the
MMU turned on, and PhysAddr be the physical load address for the section
with no MMU.

This allows ELF based boot loaders to properly load vmlinux:

$ readelf -l vmlinux
Entry point 0x8000
  Type           Offset   VirtAddr   PhysAddr   FileSiz MemSiz  Flg Align
  LOAD           0x008000 0xc0008000 0x00008000 0x372244 0x3a4310 RWE 0x8000
