MIPS: Cleanup and Fixup of compressed kernel support

Browse Source 
o Remove the .initrd section.  The initrd section was already handled
   when vmlinux was linked.
 o Discard .MIPS.options, .options, .pdr, .reginfo, .comment and .note
   sections.  If .MIPS.options is not removed, kernels compiled with gcc
   3.4.6 will not boot.
 o Clean up the file format.
 o Remove several other unneeded sections.

Tested with GCC 3.4.6 and 4.4.1 with and without initrd.

The current expression does not correctly handle the case of a
text segment ending precisely at the end of a page; it causes the
data segment to skip a page. The above expression does not have
this problem, but it will currently (2/95) cause BFD to allocate
a single segment, combining both text and data, for this case.
This will prevent the text segment from being shared among
multiple executions of the program; I think that is more
important than losing a page of the virtual address space (note
that no actual memory is lost; the page which is skipped can not
be referenced). */
