I would not make it more complicated than necessary. The systems using libdl
probably all have network support and file systems. For them wasting 64KiB
shouldn't be an issue. I would rename the bsp_section_sdata_bss_maximum_size
to something like bsp_section_use_maximum_sdata_size since it is actually not
a size.
The "small data" region is formally sdata and sbss sections which is why I used
the extended labeling. I wanted to make it clear this allocates space for sdata
_and_ sbss.

Good, but then please name it *_sdata_sbss_* and not just *_sdata_bss_*.


I agree there will be a hard split of BSPs, those that define the full size and
those who do not use libdl. The only issue is a small amount of data is needed
for some of the tests in the testsuite to pass. I expect a run of excluding
libdl tests. This is an unfortunate situation and I am not sure how else to
handle it.

I have not updated which BSPs get the full sdata size. I am not sure which need 
it.

I would start with the qoriq and the psim.


Maybe we can simply use:

/*
  * Define bsp_section_sdata_fixed_size to set the size of the small-data area 
to
a fixed size as specified, otherwise the size of the small-data area is defined
by the section content.
  *
  * bsp_section_sdata_fixed_size = 65536;
  */
I provided the max value to avoid errors related to getting this value correct
in a number of places.

Yes, there is a bit of copy and paste involved, but if you tinker with linker symbols you should know what you are doing.
