The ".persistent" section is for data that should be initialized during
load, but not during application reset.
The ".noinit" section is for data that should not be initialized during
load or application reset.
Targets utilizing the elf.sc linker script template can define
HAVE_{NOINIT,PERSISTENT}=yes to include the .noinit or .persistent
output sections in the generated linker script.
Targets with existing support for .noinit did not handle unique
.noinit.* and .gnu.linkonce.n.* sections the .noinit output section,
this patch also fixes that.

For ld -r, we generally set the VMA of sections to zero. This is done
to make the output of ld -r most similar to that output by the
assembler, which generally has sections starting at VMA zero. In some
cases that covers for backend bugs which would mis-handle relocatable
object files with non-zero section VMAs.
This patch fixes a few sections that didn't have zero VMAs for ld -r.
A missing zero on .note.gnu.build-id and .eh_frame_hdr doesn't matter
much since these are linker generated symbols only output on final
link, but it's good to be consistent.

My original implementation for LDI32 pseudo does not conform to
the TI ABI. I wrongly documented my TI PRU ELF object files inspection,
which got propagated into my binutils implementation.
Issue was exposed when running the GCC ABI testsuite against TI toolchain.
According to TI ABI, LDI32 must use first LDI instruction to load
the MSB 16bits, and second LDI instruction for the LSB 16bits.
This patch will break binary compatibility with previously released
binutils versions for PRU. Still, I think it is better to fix
binutils to conform to the chip vendor ABI.
