Subject[PATCH v2 3/3] ia64: Clean up linker script using standard macros.
Date
From: Nelson Elhage <nelhage@ksplice.com>

Aside from using fewer output sections and moving some data around,
the main side effect of this change is changing the alignment of some
sections. In particular:

* cachline-aligned and read_mostly data are now aligned to
SMP_CACHE_BYTES. (Previously, they were laid out consecutively after
a PAGE_SIZE alignment)
* .init.ramfs is now page-aligned, per the INIT_RAM_FS
macro. (Previously it had no explicit alignment).
