So...

[root@quaco c]# grep __indirect_thunk_end /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff8cc00e41 T __indirect_thunk_end
[root@quaco c]# grep -w _etext /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff8cc00e41 T _etext
[root@quaco c]#

[root@quaco c]# grep -w ffffffff8cc00e41 /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff8cc00e41 T _etext
ffffffff8cc00e41 T __indirect_thunk_end
[root@quaco c]#

Lemme try to fix this.
