Hello Andrew,

I agree that the Linux TEXT_SECTION-style cleanup is more preferable.

My goal with this patch was to fix the observed CONFIG_COVERAGE boot
failure with the smallest change.
And your proposal requires wider linker-script rework and randconfig
validation.

Unfortunately I don't have enough time to take on that right now.
I'll take into account your feedback and will return to this later.

BR, Dmytro.
