Hi Ingo & Eric.
The purpose was to define common stuff in a single place. Ask Rusty Russell if it is fun to add the same section to > 50 .lds files.
Based on the feedback I will try to come up with a lighter proposal, that does not hurt readability. I still want the common stuff separated away.
And I will in the process try to add a bit more descriptive comments, I agree the linker scripts are hard to read today. It would help if people cared to spend a few more lines explaning the actual usage. Having such explanation in a common place would make the chances for an update of the comments bigger.
