    x86: reorder .data and .init when linking
    
    In preparation for using superpage mappings, .data and .bss will both want 
to
    be mapped as read-write.  By making them adjacent, they can share the same
    superpage and will not require superpage alignment between themselves.
    
    While making this change, fix a latent alignment bug whereby the alignment 
for
    .bss.stack_aligned was in .init.  __init_end only needs page alignment (due 
to
    being reclaimed after boot), while .bss.stack_aligned really does needs
    STACK_SIZE alignment.
