When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get this
error:
drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict
This was introduced by commit ae52bb2384
("fbdev: move logo externs to header file"). This is a partial revert of
that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug.
Also convert _clut arrays from __initconst to __initdata.
Sam said:
Al analysed this some time ago. When we say something is const then
_sometimes_ gcc annotate the section as const(?) - sometimes not. So if
we have two variables/functions annotated __*const and gcc decides to
annotate the section const only in one case we get a section type
conflict.

Now we have __initconst, we can finally move the external declarations for
the various Linux logo structures to <linux/linux_logo.h>.
James' ack dates back to the previous submission (way to long ago), when the
logos were still __initdata, which caused failures on some platforms with some
toolchain versions.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
