Subject: Add new macros for page-aligned data and bss sections.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.31-rc2~7^2~7
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d2af12aeadaedf657c9fb9c3df984d2c5ab25f4c;p=pandora-kernel.git

Add new macros for page-aligned data and bss sections.

This patch is preparation for replacing most uses of
".bss.page_aligned" and ".data.page_aligned" in the kernel with
macros, so that the section name can later be changed without having
to touch a lot of the kernel.

The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.  This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".data.foo".
