Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Build ORC fast lookup table in scripts/sorttable tool

Move building of fast lookup table from boot to sorttable tool. This saves us
6380us boot time on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2682 v4 @ 2.50GHz with cores.

Changelog v2:
1. Type of section orc_lookup needs to be SHT_PROGBITS.
2. unwind_init() cannot be removed totally as setting lookup_num_blocks is needed.

Huaixin Chang (3):
  scripts/sorttable: Change section type of orc_lookup to SHT_PROGBITS
  scripts/sorttable: Build orc fast lookup table via sorttable tool
  x86/unwind/orc: Simplify unwind_init() for x86 boot
