The addition of the .text section definition in the definition of
_GLOBAL overrides the .relocate_code section definition. As a result,
these two functions don't end up in .relocate_code, so they don't get
relocated correctly, and the boot fails.
There's another suspicious-looking usage at kernel/swsusp.S:37 that
someone should look into. I did not exhaustively search the source
tree, though.
The following is the minimal patch that fixes the immediate problem.
I could easily be convinced that the _GLOBAL definition should be
modified to remove the ".text;" line either instead of, or in addition
to, this fix.
