    [PATCH] powerpc: Eliminate "exceeds stub group size" linker warning
    
    It turns out that the linker warnings on 64-bit powerpc about "section
    blah exceeds stub group size" were being triggered by conditional
    branches in head_64.S branching to global symbols, whether in
    head_64.S or in other files.  This eliminates the warnings by making
    some global symbols in head_64.S no longer global, and by rearranging
    some branches.
