-=================================
-Architectures may override arch_klp_init_object_loaded() to perform
-additional arch-specific tasks when a target module loads, such as applying

-be easily identified when iterating through a patch module's Elf sections
-(See arch/x86/kernel/livepatch.c for a complete example).
