a small detail: a better changelog would be:

| x86: provide _sdata
|
| Impact: provide generic symbol
|
| _sdata is a common symbol defined by many architectures and made
| available to the core kernel via asm-generic/sections.h.
|
| Add it to x86 too, so that kmemleak can make use of it.

it is more informative this way, and would be in the customary x86
commit style.
