[IA64] need NOTES in vmlinux.lds.S
Add NOTES to linker script such that the kernel can be built with recent versions of binutils. Without this patch, final link fails with this error: ld: .tmp_vmlinux1: section `.text' can't be allocated in segment 0 ld: final link failed: Bad value This error is due to the fact that the --build-id option is used with newer linkers to include a .notes section on the kernel, but without the NOTES macro, that section won't be included in the kernel which then leads to the above error message.
