97d5e9d149 linker_lists: fix comment
The section name and the C variable name seem to be opposite.

ef123c5253 Refactor linker-generated arrays
Refactor linker-generated array code so that symbols
which were previously linker-generated are now compiler-
generated. This causes relocation records of type
R_ARM_ABS32 to become R_ARM_RELATIVE, which makes
code which uses LGA able to run before relocation as
well as after.

Note: this affects more than ARM targets, as linker-
lists span possibly all target architectures, notably
PowerPC.

42ebaae3a3 common: Implement support for linker-generated arrays
This patch adds support for linker-generated array. These arrays
are a generalization of the U-Boot command declaration approach.

Basically, the idea is to generate an array, where elements of the
array are statically initialized at compile time and each element
is declared separatelly at different place. Such array is assembled
together into continuous piece of memory by linker and a pointer to
it's first entry can then be retrieved via accessor.

The actual implementation relies on placing any variable that is to
represent an element of LG-array into particular subsection of the
.u_boot_list linker section . The subsection is determined by user
options. Once compiled, it is possible to dump all symbols placed
in .u_boot_list section and the subsections in which they should be
and generate appropriate bounds for each requested subsection of the
.u_boot_list section. Each such subsection thus contains __start and
__end entries at the begining and end respecitively.

This allows for simple run-time traversing of the array, since the
symbols are properly defined.
