Acked-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz>

for the livepatch part of the patch.

I would also ask you not to submit new versions so often, so that the
other reviewers have time to actually review the patch set.

Quoting from Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:

"Wait for a minimum of one week before resubmitting or pinging reviewers -
possibly longer during busy times like merge windows."

Thanks

Miroslav
