It can't be unloaded. Well, this optimization is not worth it. IMHO, it is better when the API is able to handle "vmlinux" object a safe way. We always try to make the livepatch API as error-proof as possible. It is the main idea of livepatching. It should fix bugs without breaking the running system. Best Regards, Petr
