which bisect to module_memory change [1].
Debug showed that ia64 uses some special sections:
__layout_sections: section .got (sh_flags 10000002) matched to MOD_INVALID
__layout_sections: section .sdata (sh_flags 10000003) matched to MOD_INVALID
__layout_sections: section .sbss (sh_flags 10000003) matched to MOD_INVALID
All these sections are loaded to module core memory before [1].
Fix ia64 boot by loading these sections to MOD_DATA (core rw data).

Just want to add another observation (though not strictly ia64 but I
wanted to keep the context):
Testing showed that this patch also fixes module loading for alpha
(tested on an AlphaServer DS25 w/v6.4-rc4 w/ and w/o the patch applied).
Cheers,
Frank
