Couldn't this be handled via a combination of existing Ada support
(address
clauses, etc.) plus linker support? That's the way we usually handle
it with the MIL-STD-1750. I don't know if you want to specify origins
for
random code; usually, it's for a logically related set of
code/data/literals,
or for a specific object.
