BTW, something I *just* noticed when putting together that toy out-of-tree

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.
