the comment right above what you changed says it already works for
Blackfin.  so you arent fixing it at all.

ive built Blackfin kernels with function/data sections a long time ago
... but iirc, there were toolchain problems, so i havent pursued it
since.

if you're going to muck with names, you might as well do it right the

have to worry about this kind of churn again.
