When XIP_KERNEL is enabled, some functions are defined in the .data
ELF section because we require them to be in RAM whenever we communicate
with the flash chip. However this causes problems when FTRACE is
enabled and gcc emits calls to __gnu_mcount_nc in the function
prolog:

Can you provide a sample .config that DOES build correctly with
XIP_KERNEL enabled + this patch? My first attempt yields some other
failures I don't care to fixup right now...

Anyway, I don't doubt you have a good fix here, so I can probably take
it. Any review from others would be welcome though.

I found the config in the attachment in my logs.

To get this config working, I also needed this hunk from my set of
old unsubmitted patches:
