[RFC PATCH 11/11] powerpc: Check prom_init for disallowed sections

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>]

prom_init.c must not modify the kernel image outside
of the .bss.prominit section. Thus make sure that
prom_init.o doesn't have anything in any of these:

	.data
	.bss
	.init.data
