Changes to platform files usually are not a big issue, but every touch of
architecture files may impact other variants/platforms and would be good if we
can avoid. As a consequence it may require overview of more people which can
take more time.
I wanted to try it with least impact on architecture level. It seems that by
defining/combining CYG_HAL_STARTUP_ROM and CYG_HAL_STARTUP_RAM we get what we
need without touching architecture files. I tried it worked but I had little
time for testing because I went on vacation. We should check for possible
caveats caused by defining CYG_HAL_STARTUP_ROM and CYG_HAL_STARTUP_RAM, both
startup types in their own right.

It would be good if you post, thanks.
