So, do I need to put all the sections that I find in 
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.[a-z]* on the target or is there a specific 
subset of this that would suffice?

[root@isc1 ~]# ls /sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.[a-z]*
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.bss                       
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.rodata
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.data                      
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.rodata.str1.8
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.exit.text                 
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.strtab
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.gnu.linkonce.this_module  
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.symtab
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.init.text                 
/sys/module/dstdrv/sections/.text
