Subject: Module compression & loadpin

Has anyone looked into what it may take to support both module
compression and loadpin (ensures modules come from trusted filesystem)?

>From my understanding, this is not supported as kmod currently does the
decompression of modules, and loadpin prefers fload_module as it can
tell where the module came from. (https://crbug.com/777204)

In a gist, I am thinking supporting this scenario would require the
module decompression to happen on the kernel side. Wondering if anyone
has looked into this before I go making a solution...

Thanks,

Jack
