This requires further changes to linker script to KEEP some tables
and wildcard compiler generated sections into the right place. This
includes pp32 modifications from Christophe Leroy.

When compiling powernv_defconfig with this option:

text       data      bss       dec        filename
11827621   4810490   1341080   17979191   vmlinux
11752437   4598858   1338776   17690071   vmlinux.dcde

Resulting kernel is almost 400kB smaller (and still boots).

[ppc32 numbers here]

Why not use TEXT_MAIN here instead of .text .text.[0-9a-zA-Z_]* ?
