Subject: [PATCH 1/2] arm/mm : omit [_text, _stext) from kernel code region

The resource reservations in /proc/iomem made for the kernel code did
not reflect the gaps between pagetable and text.

In particular, if the CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX option is turned on,
the wrong area is shown as the kernel code area.

Fix it by removing [_text, _stext) from kernel code region.

Before:
04000000-2f7fffff : System RAM
  04008000-04cfffff : Kernel code
  04e00000-05369a27 : Kernel data

After :
04000000-2f7fffff : System RAM
  04100000-04cfffff : Kernel code
  04e00000-05369a27 : Kernel data
