From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@kernel.org>

This ports built-in firmware to use linker tables,
this replaces the custom section solution with a
generic solution.

This also demos the use of the .rodata (SECTION_RO)
linker tables.

Tested with 0 built-in firmware, 1 and 2 built-in
firmwares successfully.

v4:

o work around c6x toolchain bug by using SECTION_TBL_RO

o fix compilation on blackfin

v3:
o explicitly include tables.h as we no longer include
  tables.h from sections.h

o use new section_tbl_asmtype() helper on firmware/Makefile
  to enable having to unfold things on our own.

v2: introduced this file in this version of the series
