-
-The attributes work in conjunction with a linker script that has been
-augmented to specify where to place sections with a @code{.lower} and
-a @code{.upper} prefix.  So for example as well as placing the
-@code{.data} section the script would also specify the placement of a
-@code{.lower.data} and a @code{.upper.data} section.  The intention
-being that @code{lower} sections are placed into a small but easier to
-access memory region and the upper sections are placed into a larger, but
-slower to access region.
-
-The @code{either} attribute is special.  It tells the linker to place
-the object into the corresponding @code{lower} section if there is
-room for it.  If there is insufficient room then the object is placed
-into the corresponding @code{upper} section instead.  Note - the
-placement algorithm is not very sophisticated.  It will not attempt to
-find an optimal packing of the @code{lower} sections.  It just makes
-one pass over the objects and does the best that it can.  Using the
-@option{-ffunction-sections} and @option{-fdata-sections} command line
-options can help the packing however, since they produce smaller,
-easier to pack regions.
-
-@item reentrant
-On the MSP430 a function can be given the @code{reentant} attribute.
-This makes the function disable interrupts upon entry and enable
-interrupts upon exit.  Reentrant functions cannot be @code{naked}.
-
-@item critical
-On the MSP430 a function can be given the @code{critical} attribute.
-This makes the function disable interrupts upon entry and restore the
-previous interrupt enabled/disabled state upon exit.  A function
-cannot have both the @code{reentrant} and @code{critical} attributes.
-Critical functions cannot be @code{naked}.

-@item wakeup
-On the MSP430 a function can be given the @code{wakeup} attribute.
-Such a function must also have the @code{interrupt} attribute.  When a

-woken up from any low-power state in which it may be residing.
