[PATCH 1/4] asm/sections: add text/data checking functions for arches to override

[Mike Frysinger]

Some ports (like the Blackfin arch) have a discontiguous memory map which
means there may be text or data that falls outside of the standard range
of the start/end text/data symbols.  Creating some helper functions allows
these non-standard ports to declare these regions without adversely
affecting anyone else.
