So, can you test your RFC set (without SFRAME) with gcc 14.2.1, so we
can be sure that it is not a sframe problem?

And about having the .sframe section in the livepatch module, I realised
that this set doesn't include support for reading/using sframe data from
any module(livepatches included), so the patch I added for generating
.sframe in kpatch is irrelevant because it is a no-op with the current setup.
