Please rename "table_list" to "unwind_list" so we use a consistent name
for this.

Please loose this local variable.

I think given the amouont of indentation this causes, that:

		if (!(s->sh_flags & SHF_ALLOC)) ||
		    s->sh_type != ELF_SECTION_UNWIND)
			continue;

would be preferred here.

Other than that, patch looks fine, thanks.
