Using the audio buffer directly is a bad idea because this will
render core_alloc non-functional if load_firmware() writes into
the buffer but then fails, for example on a checksum mismatch.

The abiflags data is only used to communicate ABI information to a
program loader -- you can see what info is stored with readelf -A.
Dropping it shaves 24 bytes off of every binary (including plugins).

Using a macro to put each function in its own .icode-based section
allows us to put the functions in IRAM _and_ have linker GC. This
removes a troublesome #ifdef BOOTLOADER_SPL on the X1000 target.
