[PATCH v3 01/12] powerpc: Move and rename func_descr_t

[Nicholas Piggin]

Excerpts from Christophe Leroy's message of October 17, 2021 10:38 pm:
> There are three architectures with function descriptors, try to
> have common names for the address they contain in order to
> refactor some functions into generic functions later.
> 
> powerpc has 'entry'
> ia64 has 'ip'
> parisc has 'addr'
> 
> Vote for 'addr' and update 'func_descr_t' accordingly.
> 
> Move it in asm/elf.h to have it at the same place on all
> three architectures, remove the typedef which hides its real
> type, and change it to a smoother name 'struct func_desc'.
