[PATCH] PARISC: fix boot failure on 32-bit systems caused by branch stubs placed before .text

[PATCH] PARISC: fix boot failure on 32-bit systems caused by branch stubs placed before .text

[John David Anglin]

In certain configurations, the resulting kernel becomes too large to 
boot because
the linker places the long branch stubs for the merged .text section at 
the very start
of the image.  As a result, the initial transfer of control jumps to an 
unexpected
location.  Fix this by placing the head text in a separate section so 
the stubs for
.text are not at the start of the image.
