stm32 external SRAM

If you put any sections into the external RAM that need initialization,
you have to init the RAM before the BSP copies it's sections. The STM32
BSP copies it's sections in bsp_start_hook_1(). So either put it in
bsp_start_hook_0 or in bsp_start_hook_1 before the copy_section calls.
Attention: You can't use much in these functions. They are in a very
early initialization stage. So be careful what you put there.

If you only want malloc to allocate memory from there, there might is a
later point where you can do that.
