// `linksection("…")`: place a symbol in a named section. The definition side
// of a kernel's layout contract — a large scratch buffer pushed into its own
// NOLOAD section so the loader never touches it, and a .rodata pad pinned
// where the linker script expects it. The attribute sits between the type
// and `=` on a binding (and between the parameter list and any `callconv`
// on a fn); the section name passes through verbatim.
//
// Lives in examples/register/ (post-v0.5 grammar — the frozen stage0
// bootstrap compiler cannot parse it; gated by `zig build fixpoint`).
