BTW, something I *just* noticed when putting together that toy out-of-tree
module to test out multi-object livepatch modules is that we aren't
considering out-of-tree symbols in Symbols.list.
Perhaps we can save that for v4 or beyond, but maybe we want to re-arrange the
klp-convert arguments to "klp-convert <input.ko> <out.ko> <Symbols.list>
[Symbols.list ...]" where we treat everything after <out.ko> as a symbol list
file? (This would assume we would generate a separate out-of-tree module
Symbols.list file.) /thinking-out-loud
I understand it could help the testing quite a bit right now, but do we
care about out-of-tree modules in general?
Yeah, this was only something I hit because I found it easier to
construct OOT modules to test and share with Joao.
I mentioned it because kpatch-build supports OOT and apparently some
folks are using it:

But like I said, we can push that off for another day for now.
