Non-function-descriptor architectures would successfully crash at the
memcpy too, right? (i.e. for them this is just repeating WRITE_KERN)

I'm pondering the utility of the XFAIL vs just letting is succeed, but I
think it more accurate to say "hey, no OPD" as you have it.

One tiny suggestion, since I think you need to respin for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() anyway. Please update the selftests too:

diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/lkdtm/tests.txt b/tools/testing/selftests/lkdtm/tests.txt
index 6b36b7f5dcf9..243c781f0780 100644
--- a/tools/testing/selftests/lkdtm/tests.txt
+++ b/tools/testing/selftests/lkdtm/tests.txt
@@ -44,6 +44,7 @@ ACCESS_NULL
 WRITE_RO
 WRITE_RO_AFTER_INIT
 WRITE_KERN
+WRITE_OPD
 REFCOUNT_INC_OVERFLOW
 REFCOUNT_ADD_OVERFLOW
 REFCOUNT_INC_NOT_ZERO_OVERFLOW

(Though for the future I've been considering making the selftests an
opt-out list so the "normal" stuff doesn't need to keep getting added
there.)

Thanks!
