We can certainly change the logic to omit guessing program type if
it's already set to something else than UNSPEC.
But all I'm asking is that instead of using #fname"_sec" section name,
is to use "struct_ops/"#fname, because it's consistent with all other
program types. If you do that, then you don't have to do anything
extra (well, add single entry to section_defs, of course), it will
just work as is.

To be clear, I don't think anyone in their right mind should do this
by hand. I'm just saying that in the end it's not magic, just calls to
low-level map APIs. See above, though, all I care is consistent
pattern for sections names: "program_type/<whatever-makes-sense>".
