What exactly is the difference between a module or file? This is the only tidbit I have been able to dig up so far:

"A module is a file as it is while loaded in memory... the purpose is to make it executable directly from ROM without loading it into RAM"

I suspect this doesn't apply to new phones since they use NAND flash and not XOR. So does this mainly affect the just the XIP now?
modules are files that have a specific memory adress, and are used for xip (execute in place) basically, cant xip unless it's location is static
