The timers are going down the same route, so we should agree on the
direction. I was concerned too that it is a little too much magic, but
it is a bit cleaner and should have fewer merge conflicts.

Indeed. Before doing the section magic thing, there were explicit
calls, and it was causing conflicts every time I was rebasing the patch
series to shuffle things around.

There are already gazillions of magic ELF sections being used all over
the place, so I'd say this mechanism is no longer magic for most of the
kernel people nowadays.

Best regards,

Thomas
