Hi Kees,

I don't think any of the in-tree tests currently exercise the 
kallsyms/sympos end of livepatching.

I do have a local branch that does facilitate creating klp-relocations 
that do rely upon this feature -- I'll try to see if I can get those 
working with this patchset and report back later this week.
