Subject: [PATCH 0/2] RESEND vmlinux.lds.h tweaks

hi Greg,

this time w/o the stale patch 2.

These 2 patches are "no functional change", but they are a simple step
towards de-duplicating the repetitive columms in the __dyndbg section.

For a DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y kernel with 5k pr_debugs/drm.debugs, the
footprint reduction should be ~100 KiB

Jim Cromie (2):
  vmlinux.lds.h: add BOUNDED_SECTION* macros
  vmlinux.lds.h: place optional header space in BOUNDED_SECTION
