does the .exit.text section have to be taken into account as well? This 
is the normal section order of x86 .ko objects:

  .text
  .init.text
  .exit.text
  .rodata
  .modinfo
  .rodata.str1.1
  .data
  __obsparm
  .gnu.linkonce.this_module
  .comment
  .gnu_debuglink

we load the module up including the .data section? Or do we load the
whole thing?
