I'm sorry for the late feedback: I lost track the last replies in the
previous revision and later I was on PTO.

Let me extract the relevant slice from such thread:

Then you need to move this chunk (and all the later on swapping the
'address' and the 'module' argument in a separate patch. Mixing this
fix and  the address space extension is confusing.

Additionally we are currently preparing the net-next PR for 6.8 and I
don't feel very confident to apply such a large refactor this late. I
think it should be better postpone to the next cycle.
