Makes sense, I have this queued up to be applied to modules-next.

By the way, although I can see how livepatch modules can end up
including a hodgepodge of _ddebug entries from different modules,
wouldn't the correct thing to do be to have the modname of the
livepatch module instead of the modules they originally came from? I
think when the pr_debug's are enabled it'll print the name of the
original module instead of the livepatch module.
