[PATCH 4/4] xen: Justify linker script defined symbols in include/xen/kernel.h

[Luca Fancellu <luca.fancellu@xxxxxxx>]

Eclair and Coverity found violation of the MISRA rule 8.6 for the
symbols _start, _end, start, _stext, _etext, _srodata, _erodata,
_sinittext, _einittext which are declared in
xen/include/xen/kernel.h.
All those symbols are defined by the liker script so we can deviate
from the rule 8.6 for these cases.
