Yes, this is another way of doing that, but the kernel has to be
prepared to get such treatment, think about register functions
that only save a pointer to strings passed from __init functions...
Ah, nothing related to this specific way of doing what is intended,
any scheme that moves strings in __init functions to .data.init has
to deal with this.
