The sh_info field of an ELF section header has a different meaning for
different section types (sh_type field).  It does not have a
vendor-specific meaning, except, of course, when using a vendor-specific
section type.

Vendor specific information is normally put in a vendor specific note
section (type SHT_NOTE).
