This is the nature of 'value subtract', I suppose. 

How about something like this? Somewhat complicated by the fact that
COFF section names get truncated, so maybe there's a nicer place to put
it (or maybe we explicitly include .init.da into the .init.data output
section, in the efi.lds linker script, or something?)....
