Subject[PATCH] powerpc/32: Move entry_32 functions just after HEAD functions.
Date
By default, PPC8xx PINs an ITLB on the first 8M of memory in order
to avoid any ITLB miss on kernel code.
However, with some debug functions like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and
(soon to come) DEBUG_RODATA, the PINned TLB is invalidated soon
after startup so ITLB missed start to happen also on the kernel code.

In order to avoid any ITLB miss in a critical section, we have to
ensure that their is no page boundary crossed between the setup of
a new value in SRR0/SRR1 and the associated RFI. This cannot be done
easily if entry_32 functions sits in the middle of other .text
functions. By placing entry_32 just after the .head section (as already
done for entry_64 on PPC64), we can more easily ensure the issue
doesn't happen.

Ex: with this change, all entry_32 functions playing with srr0/srr1
appears between 0xc0002000 and 0xc0002fff on PPC_8xx.
