A lot of the arm build (especially PBL stuff) depends on section garbage collection to be enabled. If it is disabled a lot of targets fail to link properly. If module support is enabled garbage collection was disabled on the premise that we throw away too many function which may be needed in later modules. The proper way to keep the functions around for use in modules, which already works, is to annotate them with EXPORT_SYMBOL. As module support is still marked as experimental I think it's reasonable to expect users to make sure all symbols that are used by their modules are properly annotated.
