However, it looks like %progbits works on all architectures (at least
include/linux/init.h seems to imply so.)  Perhaps a tree-wide
replacement the other way would make more sense.

Personally I would also like to see these parameters macroized, to keep
someone from getting them wrong, just like we have __INIT, __INITRODATA
etc already, we should just have plain __TEXT __DATA __BSS...
