[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 3/5] build: Alloc space for sched list in the link file

[Jonathan Creekmore <jonathan.creekmore@xxxxxxxxx>]

Creates a section to contain scheduler entry pointers that are gathered
together into an array. This will allow, in a follow-on patch, scheduler
entries to be automatically gathered together into the array for
automatic parsing.
