It seems you prefer to point _end to the address after the end. Even
though we got rid of the macro definition of _END. But we didn't agree
on how to use it. For me, when I first saw
"end = start + LIVEPATCH_VMAP_SIZE" I subconsciously think the -1 is
missing here. I even added a comment, but removed it when I reached
to this line : )
May be it's better to place some code guide for END in code comment
in the SIZE definition, otherwise, we may have different point addresses
of _end functions.
