[PATCH] ppc32: platform-specific functions missing from kallsyms.

Browse Source 
The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so
that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually
worked out what we're running on today.

This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
_[se]text or _[se]inittext.  Rather than teaching kallsyms about the
various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers
for kallsyms.
