Nick, Linus: shouldn't we just simply go for no stringifying at all,
i.e. changing it to:
#define __section(S) __attribute__((__section__(S)))
That way we can handle both easy things like:
__section("foo")
as well as the mentioned:
__section(".initcall" level ".init")
that we couldn't do before.
Both GCC and Clang give the same result and it is also easier to
reason about it.
Cheers,
Miguel
