I didn't realize this before, since there are very few examples in
binutils source code. What I just found in current binutils source code
are four names using a processor prefix:

.xtensa.info
.PPC.EMB.apuinfo
.PPC.EMB.sbss0
.PPC.EMB.sdata0

Others don't. ".l1.data" and ".l1.text" have been used for a long time
in Blackfin GNU toolchain locally here and even longer in Blackfin linux
kernel and u-boot. So I'm afraid it's a little hard to change the name
now. I can add the prefix for future Blackfin specific section names.
But if it's not a strict rule, I would like to keep these two names.
Sounds OK?
