Oh, I understand what Jonathan said now. But using objcopy is not 
convenient. It needs to figure out what sections needs to be renamed. It 
needs to change Makefile rules. People use "coarse grained method" to 
put applications into L1 SRAM because it's convenient, i.e. adding two 
or three options in LDFLAGS in Makeifle is enough.
