This patch manipulate the section names of these functions. The better way would be to keep the section names as they are and then in init.h decide where to add these sections.
This will require a new set of CONFIG_ symbols but then it is obvious what happens.
Something like:
config KEEP_INIT bool
config KMEMLEAK ... select KEEP_INIT select DEBUG_KEEP_CPUINIT select DEBUG_KEEP_MEMINIT
config HOTPLUG ... select KEEP_INIT
And then use these symbols in vmlinux.lds.h
