Denys,

Not read all your patches. But I had recently the problem
that I need a generic way to check for a symbol being
inside the kernel image (text or data). There wasn't
a common symbol that worked for both XIP ARM and normal
architectures. Is this something addressed by your patchkit?

It essentially needs common symbol(s) that can be used
to check for the kernel image itself.
