  powerpc/64: Fix placement of .text to be immediately following .head.text (2016-12-01 22:26:31 +1100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
powerpc fixes for 4.9 #7

Four fixes, the first for code we merged this cycle and three that are also
going to stable:

 - On 64-bit Book3E we were not placing the .text section where we said we would
   in the asm.
 - We broke building the boot wrapper on some 32-bit toolchains.
 - Lazy icache flushing was broken on pre-POWER5 machines.
 - One of the error paths in our EEH code would lead to a deadlock.

Thanks to:
  Andrew Donnellan, Ben Hutchings, Benjamin Herrenschmidt, Nicholas Piggin.
