Re: [PATCH] i386 kernel instant reboot with older binutils fix

Hopefully this patch should solve steve's issue too.

Sure looks like it.

o Older binutils required explicit flags to mark a section allocatable
  and executable(AX). Newer binutils automatically mark a section AX if
  the name starts with .text.

More exactly, since 2.15 more section names are automatically
recognised as being of a certain type; older binutils already
did this for plain .text, for example.  Just a nitpick, but
perhaps it explains the problem better; I'm fine with the
patch as-is.
