H.J. Lu a91e1603af Support ELF SHF_GNU_MBIND and PT_GNU_MBIND_XXX
Mark an ALLOC section, which should be placed in special memory area,
with SHF_GNU_MBIND.  Its sh_info field indicates the special memory
type.  GNU_MBIND section names start with ".mbind" so that they are
placed as orphan sections by linker.  All input GNU_MBIND sections
with the same sh_type, sh_flags and sh_info are placed in one output
GNU_MBIND section.  In executable and shared object, create a
GNU_MBIND segment for each GNU_MBIND section and its segment type is
PT_GNU_MBIND_LO plus the sh_info value.  Each GNU_MBIND segment is
aligned at page boundary.

The assembler syntax:

    .section .mbind.foo,"adx",%progbits
                          ^             0: Special memory type.
                          |
                         'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.

    .section .mbind.foo,"adx",%progbits,0x1
                          ^             1: Special memory type.
                          |
                         'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.

    .section .mbind.bar,"adG",%progbits,.foo_group,comdat,0x2
                          ^                               2: Special memory type.
                          |
                         'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.
