Not yet, I wanted the OK to do it like that. I can add an example linker modification if wanted.
Add extra boot memory options to enforce the use of boot memory configuration options. This allows linker files to detect if they should prefer the specified boot memory options. This supports using boot memory config without breaking the existing defconfigs. Add extra boot memory option to describe the size of an image header when a bootloader would need one. Add a sample modification for the linker script of nucleo-f411re Signed-off-by: Laczen JMS <laczenjms@gmail.com>

Summary
Add extra boot memory options to enforce the use of boot memory configuration options. This allows linker files to detect if they should prefer the specified boot memory options. This supports using boot memory config without breaking the existing defconfigs.
Add extra boot memory option to describe the size of an image header when a bootloader would need one.
When using the image header by a bootloader that is in nuttx-apps I would use the PREBUILD mechanism or a equivalent cmake mechanism to set the boot memory configuration and the image header size (using kconfig-tweak).
Impact
None, enabler for improving bootloader support.
Testing
tested on qemu-armv7a:nsh
