NACK.

You can change the section name, sure, but you cannot remove the 2 page 
alignment that we had via the alignment at the end of the init sections. 
 You'll break current_thread_info which is always computed as 
(kernel-stack-pointer & -(2*PAGE_SIZE)).

Similarly it is *not* a bug that the page_aligned sections were before 
data, because we already knew we had 2 page alignment from the end of 
init + 2 pages of init_thread.
