I've had a quick look at [1], and IIUC that's a hard prerequisite for livepatching, as without it the kernel *will* crash if it attempts a late module relocation. Given that, I don't think that we can take patch 2 until Will's comments on [1] have been addressed, but I think that we could take patch 1 (with fixups) as per my other reply. Mark.
