[Xen-devel] [PATCH 14/20] livepatch-build: Embed hypervisor build id into every hotpatch



This change is part of a independant stacked hotpatch modules
feature. This feature allows to bypass dependencies between modules
upon loading, but still verifies Xen build ID matching.

With stacked hotpatch modules it is essential that each and every
hotpatch is verified against the hypervisor build id upon upload.
It must not be possible to successfully upload hotpatches built for
incorrect version of the hypervisor.

To achieve that always embed an additional ELF section:
'.livpatch.xen_depends' containing the hypervisor build id.

The hypervisor build id must be always provided as a command line
parameter: --xen-depends.
