That's a bit, um, unfortunate, given the current kernel predisposition
for adding a new section for almost every new feature...

How hard would it be to fix this?  Surely all we really need is one stub
table per text section in the final executable (linux still has only
about five executable sections in the vmlinux.lds.S map).
