On sunxi platforms the boot rom (BROM) looks for a specific header which
will also be loaded in memory, causing pbl, or barebox, image not loaded
at the expected BASE addresse. This also cause an issue with relocatable
pbl: instruction used for relocation expect the image to be aligned on a
4K page boundary.
The proposed solution here is to allow to specify custom sections to put
in the very begging of the .text section.
