3.16.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> commit 97ee351b50a49717543533cfb85b4bf9d88c9680 upstream. Recent toolchains force the TOC to be 256 byte aligned. We need to enforce this alignment in the zImage linker script, otherwise pointers to our TOC variables (__toc_start) could be incorrect. If the actual start of the TOC and __toc_start don't have the same value we crash early in the zImage wrapper.
