GCC unescapes escaped string section names while Clang does not. Because
__section uses the `#` stringification operator for the section name, it

Thanks a lot Nick, this takes a weight off my mind. One __attribute__
less to go.

I guess I can take the series myself, since the changes are not that
big to other parts of the kernel as long as I get Acks; and anyway I
plan to do other attributes over time.

Cheers,
Miguel
