Updated version with Petr's feedback. It looks a bit different and better now (I would say). Not that it should be considered before we decide what to do with late module patching, but I finished it before the discussion started and someone could be interested. v1: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20190719122840.15353-1-mbenes@xxxxxxx Tested on x86_64, ppc64le and s390x. Cross-compiled on arm64 to verify that nothing is broken.
