I wonder however if the use of (NOLOAD) makes all this more confusing, such sections should only be present on the linker script used for the PE output, and then the (NOLOAD) doesn't make sense there? If so, I think the (NOLOAD) directive should be dropped, and a comment noting that the debug sections need to be manually added to the PE output in order to avoid them being placed at VA 0 would be helpful IMO, likely also mentioning that they would be loaded but discarded afterwards by Xen because they are all past _end.
