Re: Patch "i386: Relocatable kernel support" causes instant reboot

Segher had suggested to use .section command to specifically mark
.text.head section as AX (allocatable and executable) to solve the
problem.

Great to hear it works in real life too.

Here, have a From: line (or how should this patch history be
encoded?) :-)
