The is_kernel[_text]() function check the address whether or not

Do you know what a gate area is?
Because I believe gate area is kernel text, so the rename just makes it
redundant and more confusing.
Yes, the gate area(eg, vectors part on ARM32, similar on x86/ia64) is
kernel text.
I want to keep the 'basic' section boundaries check, which only check
the start/end
of sections, all in section.h, could we use 'generic' or 'basic' or
'core' in the naming?
* is_kernel_generic_data() --- come from core_kernel_data() in kernel.h
* is_kernel_generic_text()
The old helper could remain unchanged, any suggestion, thanks.
