Changes since v2 [1]:
  - revised commit comment for clarification;
  - cc linux-mm for expert's review on the kern_addr_valid() usage as suggested by Petr;

but this won't fix issue on archs which don't have correct kern_addr_valid(), right?

could we call copy_from_kernel_nofault() when it could works well, and skip it on early boot?

other options, call some functions in include/asm-generic/sections.h  or include/linux/kallsyms.h?


  - cc Kefeng Wang in light of his recent patch [2]
