Juergen Gross 7e09ac27f4 x86: Fix .brk attribute in linker script
Commit in Fixes added the "NOLOAD" attribute to the .brk section as a
"failsafe" measure.

Unfortunately, this leads to the linker no longer covering the .brk
section in a program header, resulting in the kernel loader not knowing
that the memory for the .brk section must be reserved.

This has led to crashes when loading the kernel as PV dom0 under Xen,
but other scenarios could be hit by the same problem (e.g. in case an
uncompressed kernel is used and the initrd is placed directly behind
it).

So drop the "NOLOAD" attribute. This has been verified to correctly
cover the .brk section by a program header of the resulting ELF file.
