Subject: [PATCH] module: LLVMLinux: Fix section mismatch issues on alias usage

From: Jan-Simon Möller <dl9pf@....de>

Attribute aliases don't inherit the link section name when compiled with clang.
As a result, the linking section needs to be explicitly specified when building
a module. This behavior is undefined in the standard which is why it differs from
compiler to compiler.
