RTH's final complaint (so far 8) was that we should sort the module sections: archs might require some sections to be adjacent, so they can all be reached by a relative pointer (ie. GOT pointer). This implements that reordering, and simplfies the module interface for architectures as well. Previously an arch could specify it wanted extra space, but not where that space would be. The new method (used only by PPC so far) is to allocate an empty section (in asm/module.h or by setting LDFLAGS_MODULE to use an arch specific linker script), and expand that to the desired size in "module_frob_arch_sections()".
