Several reports on inconsistent kallsyms data has been caused by the aliased symbols
__sched_text_start and __down to shift places in the output of nm.
The root cause was that on second pass ld aligned __sched_text_start to a 4 byte boundary
which is the function alignment on i386.
sched.text and spinlock.text is now aligned to an 8 byte boundary to make sure they
are aligned to a function alignemnt on most (all?) archs.

In vmlinux.lds.h the code is carefull to define every section so vmlinux
properly reports the correct physical load address of code, as well as
it's virtual address.
The new SECURITY_INIT definition fails to follow that convention and
and causes incorrect physical address to appear in the vmlinux if
there are any security initcalls.
This patch updates the SECURITY_INIT to follow the convention in the rest of
the file.

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!
