+ * Contains the code for the core kpatch module.  This module reads
+ * information from the hotfix modules, find new patched functions,
+ * and register those functions in the ftrace handlers the redirects
+ * the old function call to the new function code.
+ *
+ * Each hotfix can contain one or more patched functions.  This information
+ * is contained in the .patches section of the hotfix module.  For each
+ * function patched by the module we must:
+ * - Call stop_machine
+ * - Ensure that no execution thread is currently in the function to be
+ *   patched (or has the function in the call stack)
+ * - Add the new function address to the kpatch_funcs table
+ *
+ * After that, each call to the old function calls into kpatch_trampoline()
+ * which searches for a patched version of the function in the kpatch_funcs
+ * table.  If a patched version is found, the return instruction pointer is
+ * overwritten to return to the new function.
