Subject[PATCH] x86_64: Some vmlinux.lds.S cleanups


o Some cleanups based on Jan Beulich's suggestions. It boots on my box. Hope
does not break anything else.

o Renamed program header name data.init to init. "init" is now supposed
to contain init text/data.

o Moved sections ".data.init_task" and ".data.page_aligned" into program
header "data" as they don't fit logically into "init".

o Got rid of "R" permission for "note" phdr as only boot loaer is supposed
to look at note phdr.

o Got rid of "E" permission for "data" phdr.
