But this only works if the kabi stuff is built into the kernel image,
right?  This doesn't work if any of these abi sections are in a module
or am I missing that logic here?
That is correct, for now.

I'm only trying to tackle syscalls to begin with, and since no syscalls live in
modules, we have no need for module support.
We used to support syscalls in modules, but thankfully that is now gone.
But, how will this work for stuff like usbfs ioctls?  That is a module,
and our uapi is, by far, in drivers through ioctl "hell" and that would
be great to be able to document through all of this.  Will that just not
be in the debugfs api?

thanks,
