The purpose of the bsp_section_rwbarrier_align is to separate the 
read-only from the read-write sections so that we can use the MMU 
(granularity 1MiB) to protect the read-only sections. There is probably 
a bug in the MMU setup in case the bsp_section_rwbarrier_align is not 
1MiB. You can set the nocache memory to 0 if you don't need this.
