What do you think of:

    In addition to the standard ELF segments, most remote processors would
    also include a special section which we call the "resource table".
    A "resource table" section name must start with the ".resource_table"
    prefix, optionally having a more descriptive string appended. For
    example, ".resource_table.my_rproc" is a valid section name.

Regards,

Phil.

Okay. Will change accordingly and re-spin the patch set.
