Hi,

this is another piece in the puzzle that helps to maintain more
livepatches.

Especially pre/post (un)patch callbacks might change a system state.
Any newly installed livepatch has to somehow deal with system state
modifications done be already installed livepatches.

This patchset provides a simple and generic API that
helps to keep and pass information between the livepatches.
It is also usable to prevent loading incompatible livepatches.

Changes since v2:

  + Typo fixes [Miroslav]
  + Move the documentation at the end of the list [Miroslav]
  + Add Miroslav's acks

Changes since v1:

  + Use "unsigned long" instead of "int" for "state.id" [Nicolai]
  + Use "unsigned int" instead of "int" for "state.version [Petr]
  + Include "state.h" to avoid warning about non-static func [Miroslav]
  + Simplify logic in klp_is_state_compatible() [Miroslav]
  + Document how livepatches should handle the state [Nicolai]
  + Fix some typos, formulation, module metadata [Joe, Miroslav]
