Hi,

I noticed that livepatching selftests fail on our master branch

which probably means that the consistency model is not in the best shape.
There were not many livepatch changes in the latest pull request. Stack
unwinder changes may be connected, so adding Thomas to be aware if it
leads in this direction.

Unfortunately, I'm leaving in a minute and will be gone till Wednesday, so
if someone confirms and wants to investigate, definitely feel free to do
it.
