Perhaps my usage is unusual, but it seems very
counter-intuitive that uninitialized objects placed in the
.infomem section are initialized to 0.  I expected the the
.infomem section to have the "@nobits" attribute, but it is
"@progbits".

I'm using the infomem segments to contain application
configuration data that must survive reset, power-down,
andfirmware-upgrades. IOW, the elf/hex files should not reset
unintialized infomem objects to 0.
