In most cases yes, but the capability and the method will be linker and/or compiler specific. Check the documentation for your particular tool-chain. It may may be by compiler directive, or by explicit allocation in the linker script.

In gcc you can select section function is placed into using section function attribute. Use is explained here: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html.

Together with linker script that places this section(s) at some appropriate region of memory, this works on "generic system".
