Subject[RFC] Consolidate vmlinux.lds.S files
Recently we have seen seveal changes to arch/*/vmlinux-lds.S,
mainly introduced by the module support but also other changes.

This is first version, where I have converted i386, s390 and sparc64.
The latter two is not tested, only to make sure it can be used by more
than one platform.

include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds contains common definitions.
inserted below + three diffs.

i386/vmlinux.lds.S | 148 ++++++++++++++---------------------------------
s390/vmlinux.lds.S | 138 +++++++++++++-------------------------------
sparc64/vmlinux.lds.S | 156 +++++++++++++++++++-------------------------------
3 files changed, 149 insertions(+), 293 deletions(-)

The architecture specific files became smaller.
And adding new stuff is easier.

If this the correct way of doing it - or do you have any better ways
to do it?

Comments appreciated!
