[PATCH v4 0/5] fix section alignment on i386 when CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=Y

[Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>]

This fixes a section misalignement on i386, when CONFIG_DRM=y and
CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=Y

In this config, the __dyndbg_classes section gets a single
struct/record.  On i386 this is 28-bytes, breaking the required
ALIGN(8) on the following __dyndbg section.

This breaks dynamic_debug_init() with a NULL pointer dereference; the
section traversal logic encounters padding bytes instead of a valid
descriptor.

the series:

1. moves BOUNDED_SECTION_* macros from vmlinux.lds.h to its own file.
   v2- adds note that macros are for vmlinux.lds.h only, not for modules.

2. drops unused HEADERED_SECTION_* macros from that new file

3. adds ALIGN(8) into BOUNDED_SECTION* macros
   omission causing NULL ptr on i386
   adds,uses BOUNDED_SECTION _ALIGNED variants

4. removes now redundant ALIGN(8)s in vmlinux.lds.h

5. adds dyndbg.lds.S to KEEP sections in modules
   follows codetag.lds.h model

v3:
- move #includes to top of files,
- drop redundant ALIGN(8) in dydnbg.lds.S: DYNDBG_SECTIONS macro
- add Reviewed-by tag (thx Petr)

v2:
- avoid BOUNDED_SECTION in modules, dont need _start & _end symbols.
- sets 0 address to the sections, not just whatever current is.
