/*
 * This is the linker script for the final load image of the kernel.  The
 * entire thing was assembled into a single .text section in one .o file
 * (see kernel/$ARCH/image.S).  The purpose of this link is to resolve
 * symbols used in image.S but defined in the kernel proper.  That's made
 * possible by using ld's --just-symbols switch to copy the symbols from
 * the kernel proper into this link.  That's how the boot loader headers in
 * image.S can encode things like the entry point address, the exact load
 * image size including KASLR fixup code, and the "end of .bss" memory
 * reservation size.
 *
 * Boot loaders use only the raw binary load image extracted from this
 * link, not the ELF file itself; image.S encodes the platform-specific
 * headers the boot loaders look for at the beginning of the raw binary.
 * Setting the .text address to its physical address is nice for looking at
 * the ELF file and debugging the boot sequence, but it has no effect on
 * the load image.  However, other loaders (e.g. qemu) actually use the ELF
 * file container of the load image to guide their loading.  So we need
 * this linker script to produce a PT_LOAD with the right p_paddr.
