Instead of the link to lore, you can refer to
commit a3d0cb04f7df ("modpost: use __section in the output to *.mod.c")

If necessary, you can refer to
commit f65a486821cf ("kbuild: change module.order to list *.o instead of *.ko")


As suggested, I vote for the removal since it has been broken for 5 years
since a3d0cb04f7df.
