add some comments on how this is *supposed* to work. We don't

need the PreferredEHDataFormat hook, but I have yet-more refactoring to
do before I can zap it.

// FIXME: Instead of using "PreferredEHDataFormat", we should use a simple
// approach to determine what needs to happen. Basically, if the target
// wants the LSDA to be emitted into a read-only segment (like .text) then
// (unless in static mode) it can't output direct pointers to the typeinfo
// objects, which may be in an arbitrary locations. Instead, it has to use
// and indirect stub pointer to get to the typeinfo.
//
// If the target wants to dump the LSDA's into a segment writable by the
// dynamic linker, then it can just use a normal pointer, and the dynamic
// linker will fix it up.
// TODO: Replace the getDwarfExceptionSection() callback on TAI with a new
// getLSDASection() method on TLOF. Merge and sanitize the implementations,
// and figure out what the ".gcc_except_table" directive expands to on elf
