    Hi Josh,

    By "(un)patching process" are you referring to the klp_patch at large or
    each klp_object? ie, would all klp_objects execute their hooks before
    anything is (un)patched? Just trying to clarify.

    You're suggesting that post-(un)patch-hooks:

    1 - Notify klp_objects when a KLP_(UN)PATCHED transition completes

    and for subsequently loaded klp_objects (ie modules):

    2 - On load - notify it with current KLP_(UN)PATCHED state,
    Steady state - same as (1) above.

    Thanks,

    -- Joe
