Store any note sections after the exception tables like the other
architectures do. This is required for .note.gnu.build-id emitted from
binutils 2.18 onwards if nothing else.

Ralf,
Without it a binary with a layout like this is created:
$ readelf -l vmlinux
Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
Entry point 0xffffffff804cc000
There are 3 program headers, starting at offset 64
Program Headers:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr
FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align
LOAD 0x00000000000000e8 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000
0x0000000000000024 0x0000000000000024 R 4
LOAD 0x0000000000004000 0xffffffff80040000 0xffffffff80040000
0x00000000004bead8 0x0000000000642980 RWE 4000
NOTE 0x00000000000000e8 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000
0x0000000000000024 0x0000000000000024 R 4
Section to Segment mapping:
Segment Sections...
00 .note.gnu.build-id
01 .text __ex_table __dbe_table .rodata __ksymtab __ksymtab_gpl __ksymtab_strings __param .data .data.cacheline_aligned .init.text .init.data .init.setup .initcall.init .con_initcall.init .exit.text .bss
02 .note.gnu.build-id
which does not quite work as the first segment is in the KUSEG.
Please apply ASAP.
