    Subject[patch 22/26] Add __discard section to x86
    Add a __discard sectionto the linker script. Code produced in this section will
    not be put in the vmlinux file. This is useful when we have to calculate the
    size of an instruction before actually declaring it (for alignment purposes for
    instance). This is used by the immediate values.
