    arm: Put assembly functions into separate sections
    
    This patch changes the ENTRY() macro in asm.h to create a new section
    for every assembler function, thus providing dcache_clean/invalidate_all
    and friends with the same --gc-sections goodness that our C functions
    have. This requires a few minor changes of moving around data (to make
    sure it ends up in the right section) and changing some libgcc functions
    (which apparently need to have two names?), but nothing serious.
    
    (You may note that some of our assembly functions have data, sometimes
    even writable, within the same .text section. This has been this way
    before and I'm not looking to change it for now, although it's not
    totally clean. Since we don't enforce read-only sections through paging,
    it doesn't really hurt.)
    
    BUG=None
    TEST=Nyan and Snow still boot. Confirm dcache_invalidate_all is not
    output into any binary anymore since no one actually uses it.
