well, this again boils down to your original question :) . you cannot
know the offset of the section while you are running (dynamically).
well i have a doubt. this .kernel section is in the file you are
mapping right ?
You have to write a linker script to generate symbols that mark
the start and end of your section. The kernel uses this trick for
initializing all the modules, without having to call them individually
by their names.
An example of how this can be done is explained in the following link
