The v2, notes should go in this part of the patch (after ---), this way
it does not show up when I queue the patches.

Is this used outside of the usage below?  Why do we need a header for it?

Is this needed?  OpenRISC doesn't seem to have any sections to support __exit
annotated cleanup functions.

  Ref: https://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/InitExitMacros

Returning true here means that all of the patch_map calls will be treated as
kernel pages below though, which is wrong, please remove this.

Instead of OPENRISC_INSN_SIZE, can you use sizeof(insn)?

Can you put a comment about this bit in the commit description?
