Subject: [GIT PULL] livepatching for 4.5

Linus,

please pull from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching.git for-linus

to receive livepatching updates for 4.5 merge window:

- RO/NX attribute fixes for patch module relocations from Josh Poimboeuf. 
  As part of this effort, module.c has been cleaned up as well and 
  livepatching is piggy-backing on this cleanup. Rusty is OK with this
  whole lot going through livepatching tree [1]

- symbol disambiguation support from Chris J Arges. That series is also

	Reviewed-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@...e.cz>

  but this came in only after I've alredy pushed out. Didn't want to 
  rebase because of that, hence I am mentioning it here.

- symbol lookup fix from Miroslav Benes
