the funny thing is that this was not happening with CodeSourcery 2011.03
when I sent the patch.

Maybe it's either a compiler bug on one of the toolchains or newer GCCs
are smart enough to create another section ??

But then again, 2011.03 isn't compiling sleep34xx.S:

arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.S:150: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc #1'
arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.S:418: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc #1'
arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.S:429: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc #1'
arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.S:454: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc #0'
arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.S:460: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc #0'
arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.S:465: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `smc #0'
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.o] Error 1

so it might be better to keep 2010.09 working.
