Commit 312b1485fb made __INIT_REFOK expand
into .section .section ".ref.text", "ax". Since the assembler doesn't
tolerate stuttering in the source that broke all MIPS builds.
Since with this change Sam downgraded __INIT_REFOK the best fix is to
get replace it by the modern days operator. With MIPS the only user
of __INIT_REFOK and __INITDATA_REFOK (which was equally broken) being
unused anyway these can be deleted but that's subject of a separate
commit.

Always jump to the place where the kernel is linked to. This helps where
the bootloaders/proms ignores the start address inside the ELF header.

__INIT directive just before kernel_entry was ignored for most platforms.
This patch fixes it and get rid of this warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x478): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:start_kernel (between '_stext' and 'run_init_process')

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
