I think that's only ARM, and even then it is only because of limitations
of the hardware which mostly apply only if VHE is not in use.
If anything, it's ARM that should support module build in VHE mode
(Linux would still need to know whether it will be running at EL1 or
EL2, but KVM's functionality is as self-contained as on x86 in the VHE
case).
