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.
