From: David Howells <[email protected]>
Arrange the sections in the FRV arch so that a BRA instruction with a 16-bit
displacement can always reach from the trap table to entry.S, tlb-miss.S and
break.S.
The problem otherwise is that the linker can insert sufficient code between
the slots in the trap table and the targets of the branch instructions in
those slots that the displacement field in the instruction isn't sufficiently
large. This is because the branch targets were in the .text section along
with most of the other code in the kernel.
