Put it in the .data section, and the startup code should copy it from 
flash to RAM, just like initialization values for initialized data.
You'll get some assembler warnings "Warning: ignoring changed section 
attributes for .data" that I haven't found out how to silence.  It 
works for me.

void ramfunc (int i) __attribute__ ((section(".data")));
void ramfunc (int i)
{
  /* ... */
}

You cannot call such functions directly from flash functions (or call 
flash functions from RAM functions) because RAM and flash are further 
apart than a BL instruction can reach.  You can use calls through 
function pointers instead.
