Updated version with Petr's feedback. It looks a bit different and
better now (I would say). Not that it should be considered before we
decide what to do with late module patching, but I finished it before
the discussion started and someone could be interested.

v1: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20190719122840.15353-1-mbenes@suse.cz (local)

Tested on x86_64, ppc64le and s390x. Cross-compiled on arm64 to verify
that nothing is broken.

Ping.

If I remember correctly, we decided to have this as a temporary solution 
before better late module patching is implemented. Feedback is welcome.
I'll then resend with arch maintainters CCed.

Thanks
