How would that be confusing? It has "__efi" prepended?!
All I'm saying is, if you're going to define your own function attributes, do them generic and short. "_fixup" is too specific IMO. It also enlarges function definitions unnecessarily.
With "__efi_init" you already denote that it is a special attribute which has relevance in the EFI code only. What you do about it - the *fixup* - is the thing you do with the attribute. But you don't have to have the "what you do" in the attribute name too.
