Patch1 also has that issue with the

      if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_64BIT)) {
              vmcoreinfo_append_str("NUMBER(MODULES_VADDR)=0x%lx\n", MODULES_VADDR);
              vmcoreinfo_append_str("NUMBER(MODULES_END)=0x%lx\n", MODULES_END);
      ....


module_alloc falls back to a weak variant [0] which is the same as the riscv variant
only then using VMALLOC_START - VMALLOC_END as range, as the riscv-variant
conditional to CONFIG_64BIT.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier in the long run to just define
MODULES_VADDR, MODULES_END for 32bit to use these values and get rid of
the CONFIG_64BIT ifdef we already have for MODULES (and new ones we are
introducing now).
