Well... I was working the assumption an array of pointers couldn't
possibly get hosed. That's about all I got for that. ;)

As for decorating the structures it's just sort of a pain in that you
need to match alignment of the symbol in the linker script and the
structure declaration -- for every object that we place like this in
the linker scripts. Definitely doable though. Something to keep in
one's back pocket.
