which bisect to module_memory change [1].

Debug showed that ia64 uses some special sections:

__layout_sections: section .got (sh_flags 10000002) matched to MOD_INVALID
__layout_sections: section .sdata (sh_flags 10000003) matched to MOD_INVALID
__layout_sections: section .sbss (sh_flags 10000003) matched to MOD_INVALID

All these sections are loaded to module core memory before [1].

Fix ia64 boot by loading these sections to MOD_DATA (core rw data).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
