x86, vmlinux.lds: unify data output sections
For 64 bit the following functional changes are introduced: - .data.page_aligned has moved - .data.cacheline_aligned has moved - .data.read_mostly has moved - ALIGN() moved out of output section for .data.cacheline_aligned - ALIGN() moved out of output section for .data.page_aligned Notice that 32 bit and 64 bit has different location of _edata. .data_nosave is 32 bit only as 64 bit is special due to PERCPU. [ Impact: 32-bit: cleanup, 64-bit: use 32-bit linker script ] Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Tim Abbott <tabbott@MIT.EDU> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> LKML-Reference: <1240991249-27117-7-git-send-email-sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
