o Some cleanups based on Jan Beulich's suggestions. It boots on my box. Hope
does not break anything else.
o Renamed program header name data.init to init. "init" is now supposed
to contain init text/data.
o Moved sections ".data.init_task" and ".data.page_aligned" into program
header "data" as they don't fit logically into "init".
o Got rid of "R" permission for "note" phdr as only boot loaer is supposed
to look at note phdr.
o Got rid of "E" permission for "data" phdr.

Should I create a separate program header say "bss" for .bss section? Last
time when I suggested it you said there is no need to create a separate
program header for bss.
More program headers we create, we need to make sure that they are on page
size boundaries so that kexec on vmlinux does not break.
Thanks

No, I continue to think .bss naturally belongs at the end of the data segment.

Only disadvantage of this is that .bss becomes part of the compressed data
and size of vmlinux.bin and bzImage increases.
OTOH, all the sections being mapped in segment "user" are also effectively
data only. isn't it? So .bss coming after that would make sense.
Thanks
