TI COFF stores the load-time memory page of each section. These mods
keep track of it.
The problem with this approach is that you are forcing every BFD to
pay to store information which is only meaningful to TI COFF. If this
were a general concept, that would be reasonable. But I don't think
it is.
I think it would be better to store the information in the tdata field
of the coff_section_tdata structure.
