Subject: [PATCH v2 09/14] arm: compressed: put zImage header and EFI header in dedicated section
To align the PE/COFF and the ELF headers of the decompressor binary, put
the zImage header and the EFI header in a separate .head.text section,
and emit it at the start of the Image. This change is necessary for UEFI
based debug tooling to be able to use the vmlinux ELF binary, since it
gets confused if the PE/COFF .text section and the ELF .text section live
at different offsets.
This requires a tweak of the initial jump, because (b)adr does not reach
across a section boundary. Other than that, and a few bytes of padding at
the beginning of .start, this change does not affect the binary image.
