Actually the vmlinux.lds.h file is unused for module building. For ex, if you
delete include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h , then you can still build
rcutorture.ko. Did I miss something obvious? In that case the vmlinux.lds.h
are not needed since the __section annotations automatically place the srcu
structs in a separate section.
Let me know if you would like me to send a patch separately, or if the
appended patch for the same in my previous email suffices.

Absolutely, please do and thanks!
