Vasily Gorbik 5a2e1853d6 s390: avoid vmlinux segments overlap
Currently .vmlinux.info section of uncompressed vmlinux elf image is
included into the data segment and load address specified as 0. That
extends data segment to address 0 and makes "text" and "data" segments
overlap.

 Section to Segment mapping:
  Segment Sections...
   00     .text .notes
   01     .rodata __ksymtab __ksymtab_gpl __ksymtab_strings __param
   __modver .data..ro_after_init __ex_table .data __bug_table .init.text
   .exit.text .exit.data .altinstructions .altinstr_replacement
   .nospec_call_table .nospec_return_table .boot.data .init.data
   .data..percpu .bss .vmlinux.info
   02     .notes

Later when vmlinux.bin is produced from vmlinux, .vmlinux.info section
is removed. But elf vmlinux file, even though it is not bootable anymore,
used for debugging and loadable segments overlap should be avoided.

Utilize special ":NONE" phdr specification to avoid adding .vmlinux.info
into loadable data segment. Also set .vmlinux.info section type to INFO,
which allows to get a not-loadable info CONTENTS section.

Since minimal supported version of binutils 2.20 does not have
--dump-section objcopy option, make .vmlinux.info section loadable during
info.bin creation to get actual section contents.
