powerpc: Allow LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION to be selected 

This requires further changes to linker script to KEEP some tables
and wildcard compiler generated sections into the right place. This
includes pp32 modifications from Christophe Leroy.

When compiling powernv_defconfig with this option, the resulting
kernel is almost 400kB smaller (and still boots):

    text      data       bss        dec   filename
11827621   4810490   1341080   17979191   vmlinux
11752437   4598858   1338776   17690071   vmlinux.dcde

Mathieu's numbers for custom Mac Mini G4 config has almost 200kB
saving. It also had some increase in vmlinux size for as-yet
unknown reasons.

    text      data       bss        dec   filename
 7461457   2475122   1428064   11364643   vmlinux
 7386425   2364370   1425432   11176227   vmlinux.dcde
