This in only one part.

The main change is that it klp-convert is called for livepatch modules
after the final linking.

I would write something like:

<proposal>
Call klp-convert for the livepatch modules after the final linking.

Also update the modpost tool so that it does not warn about unresolved
symbols matching the expected format which will be then resolved by
klp-convert.
</proposal>
