Subject: [PATCH 00/17] <asm/sections.h> related cleanups

	Hi all,

This started as a small cleanup in the OpenRISC code, but then I got
pulled into the pool of all section-related symbols, many of which are
different or duplicated.

    [PATCH 01/17] alpha: Use Kbuild logic to include <asm-generic/sections.h>
    [PATCH 02/17] cris: Use Kbuild logic to include <asm-generic/sections.h>
    [PATCH 03/17] m32r: Use Kbuild logic to include <asm-generic/sections.h>
    [PATCH 04/17] mn10300: Use Kbuild logic to include <asm-generic/sections.h>
    [PATCH 05/17] score: Use Kbuild logic to include <asm-generic/sections.h>
    [PATCH 06/17] frv: Remove unused declarations of __start___ex_table
    [PATCH 07/17] ia64: Remove duplicate declarations of  __per_cpu_start[]
    [PATCH 08/17] microblaze: Remove _fdt_start casts
    [PATCH 09/17] microblaze: Remove duplicate declarations of _stext[]
    [PATCH 10/17] tile: Remove tile-specific _sinitdata and _einitdata
    [PATCH 11/17] kernel/param: Consolidate __{start,stop}___param[] in
    [PATCH 12/17] nosave: Consolidate __nosave_{begin,end} in
    [PATCH 13/17] openrisc: Refactor or32_early_setup()
    [PATCH 14/17] dt: Consolidate __dtb_start declarations in
    [PATCH RFC 15/17] microblaze: Convert from _fdt_start to __dtb_start
    [PATCH RFC 16/17] c6x: Convert from _fdt_start to __dtb_start
    [PATCH 17/17] um: Remove unused declarations from <as-layout.h>

Most of this has been compile-tested. Notable exceptions are the changes
to arc, c6x, and score code, due to lack of cross-compilers.

Patches 15 and 16 are RFCs, as these make non-trivial changes, and I
couldn't test them.

Thanks for applying/comments/...!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
