I'd rather not be listed separately for this file, I'm not really
an expert on linker scripts, and checkpatch.pl will pick up my
address anyway.

With my name removed from the entry, please add

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

If you want, I can still merge the patches for these files through
my asm-generic git tree, but then I'd rely on you to pick them
up and forward them after review.

I'm definitely not an expert on linker scripts, nor do I think many folk are, I
just need to get work done and by chance have gotten involved into dark creepy
corners.

OK I'll fold the changes into the patch provided Josh is also OK
with it, but will keep the ACK out given that the patch has other
changes, I'd hope for a review upon the next respin.
