Initially, I have tried on my own kernel build (including debug_info) and ran
the test program against the .ko file.  (Because I am not permitted to share
binary code and, please, do not ask why, it is difficult to provide you an
alternative.  If you have access to a s390 or use a cross-compiler it would be
fine but that typically requires some effort on your side.

In any case, if you require some output in text form, please let me know.

Ok.
