I noticed that I had not yet beautified the vmlinux.lds file of s390.
Please consider the next two patches for 2.6.24.

The first patch refactor vmlinux.lds to a consistent (and more readable)
style that is being gradually introduced for all archs.
Rationale behind a consistent style is to make across-all-archs
changes less error prone and to better recongnize similar patterns.
The patch moves a few labels so they get the correct value even if
ld decide to align the section a few bytes.

The second patch introduce use of PAGE_SIZE as replacemnt of the
hardcoded value 4096 and convert a few decimal numbers to hex.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] s390: beautify vmlinux.lds

Introduce a consistent style in vmlinux.lds.
This style is gradually being introduced for all archs.

A few lables were moved inside the section definition so
they are assigned the correct value of gcc decide to align
the content to another address than the one . has.
In the past this has fixed several bugs but for s390 it
will not impact due to all the alignmnet already introduced.

Stabs definitions are consolidated in asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
This patch also introduce support for DWARF - without knowing
if this makes sense for s390.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] s390: use PAGE_SIZE in vmlinux.lds

Repalce the hardcoded 4096 value with the PAGE_SIZE macro.
Converted a few decimal numbers to readable hex numbers.

Use of PAGE_SIZE required a small change to page.h
to allow PAGE_SIZE to be used from assembler/linker scripts.

Patches look good, I'll add them to the repository.
