.data.cacheline_aligned should not need a separate output section; this change moves it into the .data section.
Since there isn't an ALIGN() directive before the .data.cacheline_aligned scetion in the current linker script, I'd like an ack from one of the powerpc maintainers that L1_CACHE_BYTES is the correct alignment here.
