[PATCH] powerpc: put the gpr sabe/restore functions in their own section

[Stephen Rothwell]

This allows the linker to know that calls to them do not need to switch
TOC and stop errors like the following when linking large configurations:

powerpc64-linux-ld: drivers/built-in.o: In function `.gpiochip_is_requested':
(.text+0x4): sibling call optimization to `_savegpr0_29' does not allow automatic multiple TOCs; recompile with -mminimal-toc or -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, or make `_savegpr0_29' extern
