I've updated my kernel to point to riscv-all, and now I'm getting:

scsi_mod: target ffffffe000029a80 can not be addressed by the 32-bit offset from PC = 00000000fe3be867

Any idea why this might be? My patchset had a patch [1] to ensure
modules were loaded within a 32 bit offset of the kernel text, do we
need to include that?

Thanks,
Shea
