I think I'm happy doing all of this on commit, but it might be a better idea not to. ~Andrew

No problem, I can send a v3. Thanks, Roger.

The check against the expected Xen build ID should be done ahead of attempting to apply the alternatives contained in the livepatch. If the CPUID in the alternatives patching data is out of the scope of the running Xen featureset the BUG() in _apply_alternatives() will trigger thus bringing the system down. Note the layout of struct alt_instr could also change between versions. It's also possible for struct exception_table_entry to have changed format, hence leading to other kind of errors if parsing of the payload is done ahead of checking if the Xen build-id matches. Move the Xen build ID check as early as possible. To do so introduce a new check_xen_buildid() function that parses and checks the Xen build-id before moving the payload. Since the expected Xen build-id is used early to detect whether the livepatch payload could be loaded, there's no reason to store it in the payload struct, as a non-matching Xen build-id won't get the payload populated in the first place. Note parse_buildid() has to be slightly adjusted to allow fetching the section data from the 'data' field instead of the 'load_addr' one: with the Xen build ID moved ahead of move_payload() 'load_addr' is not yet set when the Xen build ID check is performed. Also printing the expected Xen build ID has part of dumping the payload is no longer done, as all loaded payloads would have Xen build IDs matching the running Xen, otherwise they would have failed to load.
