I have done this in Introl-C11 where I had external memory mapped I/O
registers. I had to manually massage the linker editor script file. For
avr-gcc this will be in /usr/local/avr/lib/ldscripts/ (or similar in
WinAVR). But you don't want to edit those but to copy one into your
project and figure out how to override the default with your own.

Due to the memory map I had I/O in the midst of my EPROM space. Once I
got the Introl linker working the way I wanted it nicely split my object
code around the I/O sections.

One must question the need to map constants to a predetermined location
in FLASH?
