[PATCH] Re-xmit: Modules: Be stricter recognizing init&exit sesections

[Rusty Russell]

Linus, please apply.

Name: .init sections must start with .init
Status: Booted on 2.6.0-test4-bk9

D: Someone pointed out that -ffunction-sections can cause a function
D: called "init<something>" to be put in the init section, and discarded.
D: This hurts PARISC badly.  Get more fussy with identifying them.
