Speaking of .init sections, would it be a good idea to add .init.* too?
So far we've only added the sections which gcc is likely to generate
in the absence of __attribute__ ((section ("foo"))). As far as I
know, no gcc target will generate a .init.* section.
But it wouldn't hurt to add it, and presumably .fini.* as well.
