Well, if you see my other replies in the thread, I gave up for various
reasons, see

Personally, I ended up switching to CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL instead because
it actually works for modules, but then it was _really_ slow (think 30s
to copy data for a few modules), but I root-caused this and ultimately
sent these patches instead:
