Here is a new patch that removes all notion of the pmac, prep,
chrp and openfirmware initialization sections, and then unifies
the sections.h files without those __pmac, etc, sections identifiers
cluttering things up.

The attached patch makes it possible to support gp-rel addressing for small
variables. Since the FR-V cpu's have fixed-length instructions and plenty of
general-purpose registers, one register is nominated as a base for the small
data area. This makes it possible to use single-insn accesses to access
global and static variables instead of having to use multiple instructions.
This, however, causes problems with small variables used to pinpoint the
beginning and end of sections. The compiler assumes it can use gp-rel
addressing for these, but the linker then complains because the displacement
is out of range.
By declaring certain variables as arrays or by forcing them into named
sections, the compiler is persuaded to access them as if they can be outside
the displacement range. Declaring the variables as "const void" type also
works.

The tags were slightly useful when the kernel maintainers weren't
using BK, but these days they are more trouble than they are worth.
They tend to cause patch rejects, and often end up getting turned
into the fixed form (rather than the %x% tag form).
