nitpicking :

could we simply declare a
.section __discard,"",@progbits instead ?
I think this should remove the need to tweak the linker script, since
the section would not be allocated.
The allocation flag is a loader property, not a linker property. It
would still be manifest in the vmlinux file; I think this is
undesirable. Perhaps not a big deal, but neither is adding a /DISCARD/
statement to the linker script:
/DISCARD/ : { *(__discard) }
