Use a tool to check that the location of "fixed sections" are where
we expected them to be, which catches cases the linker script can't
(stubs being added to start of .text section), and which ends up
being neater.
Sample output:
ERROR: start_text address is c000000000008100, should be c000000000008000
ERROR: see comments in arch/powerpc/tools/head_check.sh

Direct banches from code below __end_interrupts to code above
__end_interrupts when built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE are disallowed
because they will break when the kernel is not located at 0.

Makefile.postlink always includes include/config/auto.conf, however
this file is not present in a clean kernel tree, causing make to fail:
$ git clone linuxppc.git
$ cd linuxppc.git
$ make distclean
arch/powerpc/Makefile.postlink:10: include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf'. Stop.
make: *** [vmlinuxclean] Error 2
Equally running 'make distclean; make distclean' will trip the error case.
Change the inclusion such that file not being found does not trigger an error.

Move a couple of existing scripts under there. Remove scripts directory:
a script is a tool, a tool is not a script.

Currently powerpc has to introduce a dependency on its default build
target zImage in order to run a relocation check pass over the linked
vmlinux. This is deficient because the check is not run if the plain
vmlinux target is built, or if one of the other boot targets is built.
Switch to using the kbuild post-link pass, added in commit fbe6e37dab
("kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile") in order to run this
check. In future powerpc will use this to do more complicated operations,
but initially using it for something simple is a good first step.
