Arjan van de Ven eaeae0cc98 [PATCH] x86_64: Patch to make the head.S-must-be-first-in-vmlinux order explicit 
This patch puts the code from head.S in a special .bootstrap.text
section.

I'm working on a patch to reorder the functions in the kernel (I'll post
that later), but for x86-64 at least the kernel bootstrap requires that
the head.S functions are on the very first page/pages of the kernel
text.  This is understandable since the bootstrap is complex enough
already and not a problem at all, it just means they aren't allowed to
be reordered.  This patch puts these special functions into a separate
section to document this, and to guarantee this in the light of possibly
reordering the rest later.

(So this patch doesn't fix a bug per se, but makes things more robust by
making the order of these functions explicit)
