ARM: 9089/1: Define kernel physical section start and end
When we are mapping the initial sections in head.S we know very well where the start and end of the kernel image in physical memory is placed. Later on it gets hard to determine this. Save the information into two variables named kernel_sec_start and kernel_sec_end for convenience for later work involving the physical start and end of the kernel. These variables are section-aligned corresponding to the early section mappings set up in head.S.
