Agreed. Going by this version of function-granularity KASLR from 3 years 
ago:

  https://lwn.net/Articles/824307/
  https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/20200623172327.5701-1-kristen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

The fgKASLR feature looks entirely viable to me. Back then I presumed it 
would get iterated beyond v3, and then it fell off my radar. :-/

If Kristen or someone else would like to dust this off & submit a fresh 
version it would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
