[IA64] Add __mca_table to the DISCARD list in gate.lds
Add __mca_table to the DISCARD list for the gate.lds linker script to avoid broken linker references when linking the final vmlinux file. Also add comment to include/asm-ia64/asmmacros.h to avoid anyone else hitting this problem in the future. Credits to James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com> for spotting the DISCARD list in gate.lds.S Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
