Subject: [PATCH] Arm backend: Move the portable kernels section to bigger
 memory

This patch moves the portable kernels from the ITCM to the BRAM
so that we don't overflow on the ITCM when linking the application

+Subject: [PATCH] Move the portable kernels to the BRAM
+
+On the Corstone-300, we have 512KB of ITCM and by default,
+the .text section lives in the ITCM. However, as we build more
+portable kernels, we sometimes overflow and the .text section
+no longer fits in the ITCM. This patch moves the portable kernels
+to the BRAM as we have 1MB of BRAM
