I wonder why printk#7 and printk#8 don't show "zram_init"...

interesting... what does the unpatched kernel show?

Really strange.
The unpatched kernel shows __UNIQUE_ID_vermagic8+0xb9a4/0xbd04 too.
The symbol should be known, because later on in printk13 it shows correctly zram_init.
I'll need to dig deeper into it, but at least the regression is not due
to your patch.
