So I guess we don't need klp_reloc anymore. If true, we should really
start thinking about proper documentation because there are going to be
plenty of assumptions about a patch module and we need to have it written
somewhere. Especially how the relocation sections look like.

Description of the structure and its members is missing.

This would be solved after Rusty's and Josh's patches get merged, right?

Looking at this... do we even need reloc_secs in klp_object? Question is
whether we need more than one dynrela section for an object. If not then
the binding between klp_reloc_sec and an object is the only relevant thing
in the structure, be it index or objname. So we can replace the
list of structures with just the index in klp_object, or get rid of it
completely and rely on the name of dynrela section be something like
__klp_rela_{objname}.
You see, we go through elf sections here which were preserved by module
loader. We even have relevant sections marked with SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH. So
maybe all the stuff around klp_reloc_sec is not necessary.
Thoughts?

And this would get solved with different patches as well. I think the
calls to set_page_attributes() should be hidden in
klp_write_object_relocations() as it is in Josh's patch IIRC.
