Modules creating PLT Entries

Hi,
I am working on a project that is attempting to make two regions for
module allocation, and embed an identifier in the address of modules
allocated in the new region. However, when I try to load a module in
the new area, I hit the warning on arch/arm64/kernel/module-plts.c:105
because I guess the loader is creating a PLT entry, which triggers the
warning and loading stops. The changes I have made to
arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h are the following:
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PAC_MTE_COMPART)
#define PMC_MODULES_START (BPF_JIT_REGION_END + MODULES_VSIZE)
#define PMC_MODULES_END (PMC_MODULES_START + MODULES_VSIZE)
#define MODULES_VADDR (PMC_MODULES_END)
#else
#define MODULES_VADDR (BPF_JIT_REGION_END)
#endif
The definition of PMC_MODULES_START adds MODULES_VSIZE to make room
for the identifier. Reading the help for CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, it
seems like having PLT entries are expected and supported, but the
warning seems to indicate that they aren't. Any suggestions? Thanks
