o Entry startup_32 was in .text section but it was accessing some init
data too and it prompts MODPOST to generate compilation warnings.
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:boot_params from

o Can't move startup_32 to .init.text as this entry point has to be at the
start of bzImage. Hence moved startup_32 to a new section .text.head and
instructed MODPOST to not to generate warnings if init data is being
accessed from .text.head section. This code has been audited.
o SMP boot up code (startup_32_smp) can go into .init.text if CPU hotplug
is not supported. Otherwise it generates more warnings
