Pretty much.  From that patchset I think the rework would need to  modify..

- [PATCH v4 02/10] kbuild: Support for Symbols.list creation: creates a 
Symbols.list file of kernel and module symbols, but *not* including any 
from LIVEPATCH_* modules.

- [PATCH v4 05/10] modpost: Integrate klp-convert: if a LIVEPATCH_* 
module has changed, call a newly introduced klp-convert script on it.

- [PATCH v4 06/10] modpost: Add modinfo flag to livepatch modules: find 
any LIVEPATCH_* mod, add it to a livepatchmods file, then pass that file 
to modpost

I can look into that.  By "field" you mean a new row in the file?
