[PATCH] powerpc: make sure all kernel text is before _etext

DORMANTno replies

From: Stephen Rothwell <hidden>
Date: 2008-09-02 05:04:29
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

This makes core_kernel_text() (and therefore kernel_text_address())
return the correct result.  Currently all the __devinit routines (at
least) will not be considered to be kernel text.

This is just a quick fix for 2.6.27 - hopefully we will be able to fix
this better in 2.6.28.
