We make proper use of SYM_DATA on global data instead of marking them as
ENTRY. ENTRY is intended for functions and shall be paired with ENDPROC.
ENTRY also aligns symbols which creates unnecessary holes here between
data.

ENTRY from saved_eip in wakeup_32 and many saved_* in wakeup_64 is
simply dropped, as these symbols are local only.

Yeah, so this commit talks about ENTRY() and ENDPROC(), while the new methods are 
SYM_FUNC_START()/END().

BTW., I like the series otherwise: for example in my comment above I wrote up the 
SYM_FUNC_START()/END() names from memory, without having to look up the 
primitives.

[ Then I double checked it from the series to make sure I got it right. ;-) ]

Before this I could never remember all these random, idiosyncratic, path dependent 
macro names - now there's at least some good high level structure to them. So it's 
a good step forward.

Thanks,
