Yes, I'll work on it.  My approach will be to redefine SHN_LORESERVE thru
SHN_HIRESERVE to FFFFFF00 thru FFFFFFFF, sign extending the existing values to
an unsigned int. All internal BFD uses of section indices will use these values,
so the reserved range is mapped out of the way of "real" section numbers.  We
won't need any of the code that adds SHN_HIRESERVE + 1 - SHN_LORESERVE to skip
over the reserved range.  Also, I think most backend use of SHN_* will not need
changing.
