Yes, these are possible options.

In fact yes. I'm more thinking about the trick with kprobes. We are already
depended on it so it won't introduce any new one. In short, kprobes internally
do have/has access to kallsyms* API. We can try to put a kprobe on
kallsyms_lookup_name() function, extract the address where it was placed and
then remove it.
Thanks,
