Since commit:
7734a0f31e ("x86/boot: Robustify calling startup_{32,64}() from the decompressor code")
it is no longer necessary for .head.text to appear at the start of the
image. Since ENTRY_TEXT needs to appear PMD-aligned, it is easier to
just place it at the start of the image, rather than line it up with the
end of the .text section. The amount of padding required should be the
same, but this arrangement also permits .head.text to be split off and
emitted separately, which is needed by a subsequent change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
