I hope to sanitize the fix for 32666 and post upstream soon (I had to
address other related issues). Unless fixed, relocating .sframe
sections using the .rela.sframe is expected to generate incorrect output.

init_module will apply the relocations on the .sframe section, isnt it ?

Hmm..something seems off here. Having tested a potential fix for 32666
locally, I do not expect the first FDE to show this symptom.
