Right, that is exactly the purpose of my
[PATCH] modpost: Check the section flags, not name, to catch missing
"ax"/"aw"
<http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/26/503>
which is also the second patch in this thread (as [PATCH v3 2/3]).

This patch also catches some possible bugs that the existing check misses,
even without -ffunction-sections, so it would be nice to get it merged
independently.
