Sergey Senozhatsky 5633e85b2c powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference
We are moving towards separate kernel and module function descriptor
dereference callbacks. This patch enables it for powerpc64.

For pointers that belong to the kernel
-  Added __start_opd and __end_opd pointers, to track the kernel
   .opd section address range;

-  Added dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(). Now we
   will dereference only function pointers that are within
   [__start_opd, __end_opd);

For pointers that belong to a module
-  Added dereference_module_function_descriptor() to handle module
   function descriptor dereference. Now we will dereference only
   pointers that are within [module->opd.start, module->opd.end).

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
