I can test it, but I need help to figure out the test itself. I am
porting the kernel 2.6 to nanoengine and my resources in that
environment are still rather limited, not to mention I have not
finished the PCI port, so I still have no network.

On the other hand, the current situation is clearly broken and your
solution can hardly be worse than having NR_SECTION_ROOTS == 0.

Marcelo.
