[LLVMdev] Ambiguity in LLVM IR for global variable sections

What do we expect from the following IR?

@i2 = constant i32 30, section "INITDATA", align 4
@i1 = global i32 0, section "INITDATA", align 4

Currently, we stick them in one section that isn't writable which is
problematic because @i1 is writable.  If you flip @i1 and @i2 you get one
section which is writable.

It seems like we should do one of the following:
1. Two sections, one writable + one that isn't
2. One section that is writable
3. Give an error

Personally, I like #1 or #2.
