Someone went and changed all that in tip/objtool/core :-)

But perhaps, like the uaccess_safe_builtins[] array below, should we
start marking sections so we can remember where stuff comes from later?
Or, now that it is a H file, maybe each arch could have its own H file 
for arch specific functions ? Then we'd get:

Do we want to rename the 'misc' sectino to 'x86' and start a 'ppc32'
section there?
Sure.

Then that would look like:
