Your comment is somewhat ambiguous (all targets use a direct jump, ARM just 
has tighter restrictions on when that is possible). I suggest:

/* The prologue must be reachable with a direct jump. ARM has a limited
  branch range (possibly also PPC and SPARC?) so place it in a section
  close to code segment. */

Ok with that change.
