"_offsets" is not precise, as this array has absolute addresses. Maybe
rename to "_addresses"?

I am not a fan of coupled code. A change at test_kprobes_lrsc_offsets
mandates a change here.

Instead of this, how about we split test_kprobes_lrsc_offsets into
test_kprobes_lrsc_allowed_addresses and test_kprobes_lrsc_rejected_addresses?
