This section isn't used anymore. I changed the code to use .data or .rodata (on riscv) and on cortex_m it is placed in data because ram_vector_table is declared using var. We can probably take it out. Is there a good reason to use a custom section?

Happy to update! This was just from what I gleaned from reading it, and it makes sense it's out of date.

I found my old notes I was writing when I originally added support for flashless targets.
I cleaned it up and gave it a once over. Hopefully it's helpful.
