In certain configurations, the resulting kernel becomes too large to
boot because
the linker places the long branch stubs for the merged .text section at
the very start
of the image. As a result, the initial transfer of control jumps to an
unexpected
location. Fix this by placing the head text in a separate section so
the stubs for
.text are not at the start of the image.
