Re: [PATCH v2] RISC-V: Support 32_PCREL relocation type in kernel module

Hi Andreas,

Currently, due to the lack of support for the unwind table in RISC-V,
we have disabled it.

If RISC-V were to support the unwind table in the future, would we
need to re-enable it? Would this require implementing related
changes(module relocation type handler) at that time?
