Hi,

Similar to what already exists for TI msp430 or in TI compilers for
arm, this patch adds support for the "noinit" attribute.

I've just committed the GCC patch:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2019-07/msg00381.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revision&revision=274482

This small linker patch makes sure that the noinit section has the NOLOAD flag.

OK?

Christophe

	* emulparams/armelf.sh (OTHER_SECTIONS): Add support for noinit
	section.
