Use the newly introduces macros to create unique separate sections
for (almost) every "regular" ASM function (i.e. for those which
aren't explicitly put into a specific one).
There should be no leftovers as input .text will be size-asserted
in the LD script generated for FG-KASLR.
*groan*...

Please, can't we do something like:

#define SYM_PUSH_SECTION(name)	\
.if section == .text		\
.push_section .text.##name	\
.else				\
.push_section .text		\
.endif

#define SYM_POP_SECTION()	\
.pop_section

and wrap that inside the existing SYM_FUNC_START*() SYM_FUNC_END()
macros.
