@tonykuttai, I don't think the conclusion was necessarily to remove the named 
csect section in this PR. It has a tradeoff between a _potentially_ larger 
memory footprint under "full" LTO (not known to apply to thinLTO) and a likely 
better layout where the copyright strings are all grouped "out of the way" from 
other data.

I am leaning towards keeping the named csect section and updating the code 
comments to provide the reasoning.
