So here are the two versions, both with secondary addr_[min|max] for
CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC.

v2. Just use mod_mem array:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/song/md.git/commit/?h=remotes/song-md/new_module_alloc_build_test_v2

v3. mod_mem array and the defines:
#define mod_core_text mod_mem[MOD_MEM_TYPE_TEXT]
#define mod_core_data mod_mem[MOD_MEM_TYPE_DATA]
etc.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/song/md.git/commit/?h=remotes/song-md/new_module_alloc_build_test_v3

I personally like the v3 better. Please share you
comments on this.

Thanks,
Song
