[PATCH resend 0/2] Fix x86-64 linker script when using gold

[Andy Lutomirski]

[resent because I misspelled linux-kernel the first time.]

We were hitting two bugs:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13019
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13023

The former was really a bug on the linker script that neither the
old bfd linker nor the kernel loader cared about.  It caused gold to
bail, though.

The second is, I think, a legitimate bug in gold.  But rather than
regressing on current gold versions, we can work around it.

This is what I get for messing with the linker script :-/

Andy Lutomirski (2):
  x86-64: Move the "user" vsyscall segment out of the data segment.
  x86-64: Work around gold bug 13023
