Fix resembles implementation from Marc Gauthier and Piet Denaly:
In the Xtensa architecture, assembly generates literals which must always
precede the code (the L32R instruction that loads them only uses negative
PC-relative offsets). For any *.text section, literals are placed in a
corresponding *.literal section. The linker script (vmlinux.lds) must
place these in the correct order. It must also combine them, when the
*.text section can be larger than L32R's 256 kB range.
For example, this doesn't work: *(.literal) *(.text) because L32R
instructions at the end of .text can't reach the literals.
The linker can solve this if they are combined in parentheses, like this:
*(.literal .text)
because it is now allowed mix literals in .text to bring them in range.
None of this is done by standard vmlinux.lds.h macros such as TEXT_TEXT
and INIT_TEXT. To avoid replicating the logic of that header file, we
instead post-process the generated linker script to convert *(xxx.text)
to *(xxx.literal xxx.text) for the following text sections:
.text .ref.text .*init.text .*exit.text .text.*
using a sed script. To do this we must override the default rule for
vmlinux.lds (see scripts/Makefile.build and the top-level Makefile)
to insert this extra step.

Move all header files for xtensa to arch/xtensa/include and platform and
variant header files to the appropriate arch/xtensa/platforms/ and
arch/xtensa/variants/ directories.
Moving the files gets also rid of all uses of symlinks in the Makefile.
This has been completed already for the majority of the architectures
and xtensa is one out of six missing.

Xtensa requires separate .literal section for each .text section.
Adding addition init sections for cpuinit, meminit, and devinit,
broke the Xtensa linker script, so, add these literal sections
manually for now.

This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data
and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in
the generic vmlinux.lds.h.
This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

The header files in the asm-xtensa directory are not clean and
'make headers_check' fails. This is a first patch to fix most of
the header files. It removes unnecessary include statements and
adds some that are required for building the kernel. The linker
script required some updates or the linking stage would fail.

Let's allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and
Ingo suggested KVM as well).
Because larger alignments can use more room, we increase the max per-cpu
memory to 64k rather than 32k: it's getting a little tight.
