You'll have to add a new memory region - right now there is "rom" and
"ram", but you could add "ram2". But the linker still can't split any
individual sections over both regions, nor work out by itself which
sections should go in which regions. If you need that level of control,
then if you have an MMU you should map the region to be contiguous in the
virtual address space. If you don't have an MMU, I don't know :-).
