Hi Magnus, xen/common/kexec.c references _text, which is not provided by
PowerPC's linker script.

Given that you do arithmetic with _end, can you explain why you're not
using _start, which is a standard symbol provided by the default linker
script?

Outside of Linux, kexec is the only code referencing _text.
