Right...

I now think the "eh frame" stuff discussed elsewhere has something to do 
with this, though. Simply put, I hadn't included *(.eh_fram*) in the 
linker script. If I do, I no longer get data in the "reserved" section, 
regardless of it's permission. The output size with *(.eh_fram*) 
included is different from both of the ones I got earlier (depending on 
"reserved" permissions), however, so I'm still not sure I understand 
exactly what is going on.
