I'll admit that was my fault, at least partially. I didn't have time
to test the new headers, mostly because I'd have to change all of our
(and HALCoGen's) init code to actually use them. In any case, are
these tested by loading RTEMS from both internal RAM and flash?

I'd still like to have a say on the naming when the patch is sent, if
it's not too late.

I don't think we should make this kind of assumptions when both the
manual and TI's tools say otherwise, for a number of reasons:

1) We're not 100% sure it'll work the same in all configurations.
2) Any future maintainers will suspect something's wrong when they
compare this to the HALCoGen code.
3) Any future bugs will have us coming back to this patch to check if
it's not causing them.
4) It's not really necessary to make this change, nor it's too big of
a deal to use the HALCoGen formula.
