Yes, I already have this patch.

But I decided to talk to Artem and just talked.

We thought about comment to explain what is going on there and why
section mismatch is false positive, though a bit error prone (since you
have to keep in mind 0000 permissions).

So, one solution here is to unmark them and, what I would add, change
permissions to read-only.

If you are okay with this I will send series.
