Subject: powerpc/boot: Fix zImage TOC alignment
From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
commit 97ee351b50a49717543533cfb85b4bf9d88c9680 upstream.
Recent toolchains force the TOC to be 256 byte aligned. We need to
enforce this alignment in the zImage linker script, otherwise pointers
to our TOC variables (__toc_start) could be incorrect. If the actual
start of the TOC and __toc_start don't have the same value we crash
early in the zImage wrapper.
