[PATCH, COMMIT]: Clarify description of ! character in MEMORY region attributes


Hi Guys,

  I am checking in the patch below to clarify the description of the !
  character in MEMORY region attributes.  When I read the original
  version I thought that it meant that the ! character had to be placed
  after the characters that it was inverting, as in:

    MEMORY { readonly (W!) : org = 0, len = 200 }

  whereas the text was actually referring to the previous entries in the
  table in the documentation.  So I have reworded the description to
  what I feel is a clearer explanation.  Reading this version I would
  now construct the above region as:

    MEMORY { readonly (!W) : org = 0, len = 200 }

  Which is the correct specification.

Cheers
  Nick
