This section is used by debuggers to display the extension instructions

The final kernel binary only needs .arcextmap entry in modpost's ignore
list (section_white_list[]). However when building modules, modpost scans
each object file individually, hence tripping on non-aggregated
.gnu.linkonce.arcextmap.* entries as well.

The list exist for this particular purpose.
So acked.

Thus need for the 2 entires !
