Hi Petr,

Firstly, thank you for your feedback.

In my opinion, I believe is_livepatch_module() should remain as it may
continue to be used externally i.e., outside of kernel/module/; albeit,
indeed set_livepatch_module() should be moved to kernel/module/internal.h
given its use is exclusive to core code.


Kind regards,
