Yes it would. I'm sorry, I was a bit bussy last two weeks. I'll do some
random tests and add the patches to kbuild-next now. The patches look
simple enough for me and don't actually change any functionality if one
doesn't deliberately use -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, so I hope
Linus will be fine with merging it for 2.6.34.
