We have a problem at the moment with ro_after_init sections, isn't it 
better to fix it before adding new stuff to ro_after_init ?

This series conflicts with my series which aims at fixing up 
ro_after_init handling in modules, see 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-modules/cover/cover.1733427536.git.christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx/

I was expecting my series to land in modules-next, do you or Luis plan 
to take it anytime soon ?
