I have got an error when executing the script after applying the "nop" 
livepatch:
Executing: 'xen-livepatch apply xen_nop:' ..Applying xen_nop... completed
.. OK!
Executing: '[ `xl info| grep "xen_m" | grep or | sed s/.*:// | uniq | wc 
-l` == 1 ]:' ..sh: 1: [: 1: unexpected operator
FAILED (got 512, expected: 0)

But this looks like a script error than livepatch. Although, I was not 
able to spot the error in the script.
Cheers,
