Sounds good to me! As long as it's hidden from plain .c files I'm a happy camper.

This should probably also be faster for KASAN than triggering a warning and having 
to parse a blacklist, right?

We do a _ton_ of such section tricks in the kernel (all of exception handling is 
based on that) - if that's broken by -fconserve-stack then the kernel is broken 
much more widely.

So unless KASAN wants to do something special here you can rely on sections just 
fine.
