Self-NACK on this one. This results in a ton of warnings:

include/linux/fs.h:727: warning: ???__section__??? attribute does not
apply to types
In file included from include/linux/debugfs.h:18,
from kernel/trace/trace_probe.h:28,
from kernel/trace/trace_kprobe.c:23:
include/linux/fs.h:727: warning: ???__section__??? attribute does not
apply to types

And that leaves me with the task of figuring out if/why this actually
helps.

Cheers,
Jeff
