What I have done so far is to put some peices of the asm code into
the .text.init.refok section (see the _INIT_STATIC macro in asm/ppc_asm.h
in the current kernel).  I was hoping to separate some of the asm into a
new file (init_64.S) that would contain this and other code in
the .init.text section.  That is currently not working (ld crashed on
me :-)).

Even if you create a .text.head, you will need to teach modpost about it.
