Commit 55395ae72b6e5ae614d28df74158c47454652583 introduced:
`.exit.text' referenced in section `.init.text' of drivers/built-in.o: defined
in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
Never mark functions that may be called during run time or
initialisation time with a section that may be (or have been)
discarded.
It was mentioned in the commit comments that an exit-section function
was being called from an init-section function. This should _always_
result in the patch being rejected. It's just a big no no.
