[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 3/5] build: Alloc space for sched list in the link file

[Jonathan Creekmore <jonathan.creekmore@xxxxxxxxx>]

Creates a section to contain scheduler entry pointers that are gathered
together into an array. This will allow, in a follow-on patch, scheduler
entries to be automatically gathered together into the array for
automatic parsing.

Changed since v4:
  * Remove defensive check for schedulers since the credit scheduler
    must always be present

Changed since v3:
  * Add defensive check for schedulers in the linker

Changed since v1:
  * rename the __start and __end symbols to better match
    the rest of the file
