For an XIP build, _edata_loc, not _etext, represents the end of the
binary image that will be programmed into ROM and mapped into the
MODULES_VADDR area.
With an XIP kernel, nothing is loaded into RAM before boot, meaning
you have to take into account the size of the entire binary image
that was programmed, including the init data values that will be copied
to RAM during kernel boot.

This fixes the bug where you might lose the end of your kernel area
after page table setup is complete.

It's not good practice to put non-generic symbols in generic header files.
_edata_loc is an ARM specific symbol which no other architecture defines.
Please create an ARM private asm/sections.h header, which should include
the asm-generic version, and also declare the additional symbol.

Thanks.
