rS345678: powerpc64: Fix kernel ldscript to only emit one PT_LOAD segment

Summary

kexec-lite cannot currently handle multiple PT_LOAD segments. In some
cases the compiler generates multiple PT_LOAD segments for an unknown
reason, causing boot to fail from kexec-lite.

Patch created by Brandon Bergren, who also pointed out the problem.

This is functionally identical to what I've been running locally since last October for my ELFv2 kernel builds.

I have also tested this (with an ELFv2 kernel) on my G5. Currently building an ELFv1 kernel on the G5, will test that as well tomorrow.

ELFv1 test went fine too on the G5.
