So I've pulled this, but I have two questions based on reading the patch..

 (a) Where's that "discard them after init" logic?

 (b) ARM has its own module_init/exit_section() functions, and now
seems to have different logic than everybody else as a result..

but maybe I'm not reading that patch right.
