* Describe how to match sections on different criterias:
*
* @fromsec: Array of sections to be matched.
*
* @bad_tosec: Relocations applied to a section in @fromsec to a section in
* this array is forbidden (black-list). Can be empty.
*
* @good_tosec: Relocations applied to a section in @fromsec must be
* targetting sections in this array (white-list). Can be empty.
*
* @mismatch: Type of mismatch.
*
* @symbol_white_list: Do not match a relocation to a symbol in this list
* even if it is targetting a section in @bad_to_sec.
*
* @handler: Specific handler to call when a match is found. If NULL,
* default_mismatch_handler() will be called.
