It might not be totally crazy to back it by tmpfs.

interesting. how do you propose to do it?
Something like:
- create /umh_module_tempxxx dir
- mount tmpfs there
- copy elf into it and exec it?

I think the idea is that it's an internal tmpfs mount that only
the kernel has access too.

And I don't think that even hurts your debuggability concerns.  The
user can just attach using the foo.ko file in the actual filesystem.
