I'm not sure about this: we verify the patch section and in the error
case we skip over the whole leftover buffer?

Maybe skipping over SECTION_HDR_SIZE or better yet skip 1 byte here
too, like in parse_container() to give us the highest chance of finding
something sensible later...

Same comment as before: verify_patch_size()

But I think you can simply do verify_patch() at the beginning of the
function and be done with the verification in that function.

No need for that error message anymore I guess -
install_equiv_cpu_table() and verify_equivalence_table() are pretty
vocal in the error case already.
