[PATCH 00/14] clean up page aligned data and bss sections

[Tim Abbott]

Sam,

This patch series add new macros for .data.page_aligned and
.bss.page_aligned, and converts the various architectures to use them.
It also eliminates the few remaining uses of .data.idt by replacing
them with references to .data.page_aligned.

This patch series is a bunch of cleanup in preparation for being able
to change the names of the .data.page_aligned and .bss.page_aligned
sections to be compatabible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections.

The x86 patches are on top of the your commit in the x86/kbuild of
linux-tip entitled:

    x86: beautify vmlinux_64.lds.S
