Agreed. I actually got into livepatch through kpatch — I guess I got a
bit nervous and wrote the RFCs like papers.
I'll follow up case by case within the current design. For cases
klp-build leaves unsupported for now, I think documenting the limits
would help patch authors and AI tools know what to check.
The two RFCs can stay as background on another approach, for
cross-checking and future discussion.
