If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Max Filippov commit 4119ba211bc4f1bf638f41e50b7a0f329f58aa16 upstream. This section collects all source .note.* sections together in the vmlinux image. Without it .note.Linux section may be placed at address 0, while the rest of the kernel is at its normal address, resulting in a huge vmlinux.bin image that may not be linked into the xtensa Image.elf.
