Fix resembles implementation from Marc Gauthier and Piet Denaly:
In the Xtensa architecture, assembly generates literals which must always
precede the code (the L32R instruction that loads them only uses negative
PC-relative offsets). For any *.text section, literals are placed in a
corresponding *.literal section. The linker script (vmlinux.lds) must
place these in the correct order. It must also combine them, when the
*.text section can be larger than L32R's 256 kB range.
For example, this doesn't work: *(.literal) *(.text) because L32R
instructions at the end of .text can't reach the literals.
The linker can solve this if they are combined in parentheses, like this:
*(.literal .text)
because it is now allowed mix literals in .text to bring them in range.
None of this is done by standard vmlinux.lds.h macros such as TEXT_TEXT
and INIT_TEXT. To avoid replicating the logic of that header file, we
instead post-process the generated linker script to convert *(xxx.text)
to *(xxx.literal xxx.text) for the following text sections:
.text .ref.text .*init.text .*exit.text .text.*
using a sed script. To do this we must override the default rule for
vmlinux.lds (see scripts/Makefile.build and the top-level Makefile)
to insert this extra step.

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

The string-io functions (outs{bwl}, ins{bwl}) are independent from
the PCI option and should be in a separate file.

The kernel termios (ktermios) changes were somehow missed for Xtensa. This
patch adds the ktermios structure and also includes some minor file name
fix that was missed in the syscall patch.
