As to unblocking live patching - may I ask you look at the symbol
disambiguation patch I did submit? The thread here, as suggested
before, should now be solely about code generation. And just in
case you've missed this: I did indicate I'm willing to give my
ack on the v3 patch here, provided you adjust the description as
asked for in my initial(?) reply.
