Hi Joe,

thanks for looking at it. To be honest I haven't checked the current
use of atomic replace on test-livepatch.sh =/

yes, that's mostly the same case, but in mine I load three modules and
then load the third one replacing the others, while in the test-
livepatch.sh we have only one module that is loaded, replaced, and then
we unload the replaced one.

Do you see value in extending the test at test-livepatch.sh to load
more than one LP moduled and the replace all of them with another one?
I believe that it adds more coverage, while keeping the number of tests
the same.

Thanks!
