 * .boot.data section is shared between the decompressor code and the

 * over to the decompressed image before starting it.
 *
 * .boot.data variables are kept in separate .boot.data.<var name> sections,
 * which are sorted by alignment first, then by name before being merged
 * into single .boot.data section. This way big holes cased by page aligned
 * structs are avoided and linker produces consistent result.
