-// The kernel layout is:
-//
-// text
-// rodata
-// data
-// bss
-//
-// Conventionally, Unix linkers provide pseudo-symbols
-// etext, edata, and end, at the end of the text, data, and bss.
-// For the kernel mapping, we need the address at the beginning
-// of the data section, but that's not one of the conventional
-// symbols, because the convention started before there was a
-// read-only rodata section between text and data.
-//
-// To get the address of the data section, we define a symbol
-// named data and make sure this is the first object passed to
-// the linker, so that it will be the first symbol in the data section.
-//
-// Alternative approaches would be to parse our own ELF header
-// or to write a linker script, but this is simplest.
