The scripts/livepatch changes have tended to be tied to objtool, which
is why they have gone through the tip tree.

I'm open to suggestions or ideas.  We could possibly rename or move that
scripts/livepatch directory (scripts/klp-build/?  tools/objtool/klp-build/?)
if that makes the boundary less confusing.

Or might there be some other maintainership model or way of splitting up
the files?

In any case, I'll go ahead and queue up patch 1 for tip for now.
