59c36455d0 scripts/sortextable: support objects with more than 64K sections.
Building with a large config and -ffunction-sections results in a large
number of sections and sortextable needs to be able to handle that.
Implement support for > 64K sections as modpost does.

8c0c774dd7 scripts/sortextable: silence script output
The exception table sorter outputs one line every time
it gets called, e.g. 'sort done marker at 66dc00', which
is slightly annoying when doing 'make -s' which is otherwise
completely silent. Since that output is not helpful to
most people building the kernel, turn it off by default.

d59a16836d scripts/sortextable: Handle relative entries, and other cleanups
x86 is now using relative rather than absolute addresses in its
exception table, so we add a sorter for these.  If there are
relocations on the __ex_table section, they are redundant and probably
incorrect after the sort, so they are zeroed out leaving them valid
and consistent.

Also use the unaligned safe accessors from tools/{be,le}_byteshift.h

a79f248b9b scripts: Add sortextable to sort the kernel's exception table.
Using this build-time sort saves time booting as we don't have to burn
cycles sorting the exception table.
