Initial fix for making sure that we can access percpu variables
in all C code (commit: 10617bbe84)
inadvertantly allocated the memory in the "percpu" section of
the vmlinux ELF executable. This confused kexec/dump.

Broke the non modular builds by moving an essential function into
modules.c. Fix this by moving it out again and into asm/sections.h as
an inline. To do this, the definitions of struct fdesc and struct
got_val have been lifted out of modules.c and put in asm/elf.h where
they belong.

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors
Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:
1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>
2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.
3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.
