To be honest I'd prefer if we went with just the change suggested
by Andrew, getting the linker script back in line with
SPECIAL_DATA_SECTIONS. The static const items in the
decompressors were left un-annotated intentionally, since the
.rodata.* thingies want/need taking care of anyway. After all you
won't (I hope) suggest also annotating the various string literals.
