Comment at: docs/LangRef.rst:629
+corresponding to the LLVM module, section information specified in the 
+declaration is retained in LLVM IR to enable OpenCL processes.

----------------
This doesn't really explain the part that matters. For LangRef, it doesn't 
matter how the frontend decides to generate declarations (and it might be 
different for frontends other than clang).  And OpenCL might motivate this, but 
it has nothing to do with the semantics.

The key question here is what it actually means.  Is it a promise the that a 
definition will exist for the given symbol in the given section?  If so, what 
happens if the symbol is actually in a different section?  ("Undefined 
behavior" is probably an acceptable answer, but it needs to be stated 
explicitly.)
