/*
 * This linker script is used to link rmodules (relocatable modules).  It
 * links at zero so that relocation fixups are easy when placing the binaries
 * anywhere in the address space.
 *
 * NOTE:  The program's loadable sections (text, module_params, and data) are
 * packed into the flat blob using the AT directive. The rmodule loader assumes
 * the entire program resides in one contiguous address space. Therefore,
 * alignment for a given section (if required) needs to be done at the end of
 * the preceeding section. e.g. if the data section should be aligned to an 8
 * byte address the text section should have ALIGN(8) at the end of its section.
 * Otherwise there won't be a consistent mapping between the flat blob and the
 * loaded program.
