Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard to combine this test with the existing
one by adding the 3 module load to the beginning of the test.

Verifying the livepatch count is an interesting new wrinkle.  (Do check
out the shellcheck warning about leveraging the output of ls, though.)
If atomic-replace was used throughout the test suite, I might say that
load_mod should be aware and check accordingly, but it's not the default
build mode, so counting the final livepatches in the test itself seems
reasonable enough.
