Hi João,

I added https://github.com/SUSE/klp-convert/commit/69b89ef5c366 on top 
of my 
https://github.com/joe-lawrence/linux/tree/klp-convert-v2-rebase-review 
branch with positive results:

(No build klp-convert build complaints)

   % uname -r
   Linux ibm-p9z-21-lp26.mpc.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com 5.1.0-rc1+ #6 SMP 
Thu Mar 21 11:40:24 EDT 2019 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux

   % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-annotated-sample.ko
   % grep -o 'livepatch.*' /proc/cmdline
   livepatch=1

   % ./tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test-livepatch.sh
   TEST: basic function patching ... ok
   TEST: multiple livepatches ... ok
   TEST: atomic replace livepatch ... ok
   TEST: klp-convert symbols ... ok

There may be more ppc64le specifics lurking, but if we could get samples 
and self-tests working, I think we'd be in good shape for v3.
