wite_mfs_in_kernel should die completely, even in picobsd. There are much
better ways:
peter@daintree[5:17pm]~/m-125> cat main.c
extern char __start_foo[];
extern char __stop_foo[];
main()
{
printf("start=%p, stop=%p\n", __start_foo, __stop_foo);
}
peter@daintree[5:17pm]~/m-126> cc -c main.c
peter@daintree[5:18pm]~/m-127> objcopy --add-section foo=/etc/termcap main.o main2.o
peter@daintree[5:18pm]~/m-128> cc -o main main2.o
peter@daintree[5:18pm]~/m-129> ./main
start=0x50, stop=0x2ea27
peter@daintree[5:18pm]~/m-130> strings -a main | more

This has the distinct advantage that it is auto-sizing. You dont have to
pre-reserve space for it.
