Update all arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S to not include space for initramfs
when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRAMFS is not selected. This saves another 4 kbytes
on most platfoms (some reserve PAGE_SIZE for initramfs).

Set read-only flag in the page table entries for the kernel image text
section. This will catch all instruction caused corruptions withing the
text section.
Instruction replacement via kprobes still works, since it bypasses now
dynamic address translation.

Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table,
teach all the architectures to use it.
This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for
multithreaded-probing.

Add a read_mostly section and define __read_mostly to prevent cache line
pollution due to writes for mostly read variables. In addition fix the
incorrect alignment of the cache_line_aligned data section. s390 has a
cacheline size of 256 bytes.

Sanitize some s390 Kconfig options. We have ARCH_S390, ARCH_S390X,
ARCH_S390_31, 64BIT, S390_SUPPORT and COMPAT. Replace these 6 options by
S390, 64BIT and COMPAT.

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!
