 * @_type:	Data type of the entry

 *
 * This macro declares a variable that is placed into a linker-generated
 * array. This is a basic building block for more advanced use of linker-
 * generated arrays. The user is expected to build their own macro wrapper
 * around this one.
 *
 * A variable declared using this macro must be compile-time initialized.
 *
 * Special precaution must be made when using this macro:
 *
 * 1) The _type must not contain the "static" keyword, otherwise the
 *    entry is generated and can be iterated but is listed in the map
 *    file and cannot be retrieved by name.
 *
 * 2) In case a section is declared that contains some array elements AND
 *    a subsection of this section is declared and contains some elements,
 *    it is imperative that the elements are of the same type.
 *
 * 3) In case an outer section is declared that contains some array elements
 *    AND an inner subsection of this section is declared and contains some
 *    elements, then when traversing the outer section, even the elements of
 *    the inner sections are present in the array.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * ::
 *
 *   ll_entry_declare(struct my_sub_cmd, my_sub_cmd, cmd_sub) = {
 *           .x = 3,
 *           .y = 4,
