The scheme you've implemented can apply fine to a .ko file after it's made. They are just .o's really. It is presumably faster to do one step per final .ko rather than many tiny ones (per source file).
That might be a benefit to doing it all at the end for vmlinux too. I think the best way would be to have a vmlinux.o that we actually use in the link, rather than just analyzing and discarding. Then you can just do your existing hack on vmlinux.o before it's linked into vmlinux.
Thanks, Roland
