There is a strange feature to set global_data to a data-section variable

Seems like I missed that one back in October.
Does anyone have an idea why this variable ('static bd_t bdata') is
hard-coded into section ".data"? To me this seems pretty unportable...
For example, for a specific feature on socfpga (warm reboot CRC check),
I would prefer to have the ".data" section empty and put 'bdata' into
bss. This is currently not possible.
But before sending a patch that somehow changes this behaviour, I'd like
to know why this variable is put into ".data" instead of ".bss"
Thanks,
Simon
