Fair enough. But in that case we still have a chunk of code in that 
function explaining why the section is being used. Should that go away too?

       /* The libopcodes disassembly code uses the section to find the
          BFD, the BFD to find the ELF header, the ELF header to find
          the me_module index, and the me_module index to select the
          right instructions to print.  */
