I like this patch and it's something I'd like to queue for 4.4, but given 
the fact that the original "[PATCH] x86/livepatch: Fix crash with 
!CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX" wasn't queued in any tree yet, I don't 
think that sending it as a followup patch is of any use.

So if you agree, I'll just fold the two patches together and use the 
changelog below, and queue it for merge with Linus.

Thanks,
