Kching! Init and exit sections break the assumptions that exception
tables are sorted. The thread started in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=101912337804026&w=2
and ended with agreement that the fix was needed but it should use a
better sort routine. I got sidetracked and never did the better sort
routine. Sounds like a good use for qsort.
