Fair enough. But that is more of a policy concern than a functional concern.

FWIW I took patches #8 and #9, hardwired a couple of CONFIG_FG_KASLR=y
checks and added the -ffunction-sections GCC option for the modules,
and everything appears to be working as expected on arm64. I was just
wondering if I was missing something.

Note that arm64 does not have a decompressor, so there the fine
grained randomization of the core kernel is not really feasible using
the approach presented here.
