[PATCH] Be more strict on recognising init sections

[PATCH] Be more strict on recognising init sections

[Rusty Russell]

James Bottomly prodded me to re-xmit this for parisc...

Status: Trivial

D: Someone pointed out that -ffunction-sections can cause a function
D: called "init<something>" to be put in the init section, and discarded.
D: Get more fussy with identifying them.
