[PATCH 1/2] vmlinux.lds.h: add BOUNDED_SECTION* macros

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Sat Oct 22 2022 - 18:54:16 EST


vmlinux.lds.h has ~45 occurrences of this general pattern:

__start_foo = .;
KEEP(*(foo))
__stop_foo = .;

Reduce this pattern to a (group of 4) macros, and use them to reduce
linecount. This was inspired by the codetag patchset.

no functional change.

Shall we bikeshed the names ?
