	刚开始没有搞懂.arch.info.init与__arch_info_begin、__arch_info_end的关系，其实是
	.arch.info.init在__arch_info_begin、__arch_info_end定义的范围内

	在system.map文件中有如下定义

	c043ece4 T __arch_info_begin
	c043ece4 t __mach_desc_NUC970  //MACHINE_START(NUC970, "NUC970")生成的
	c043ece4 T __proc_info_end
	c043ed2c T __arch_info_end
