    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.
