I think my logic here is wrong.

While looking at something else I realized that livepatch does support
'.altinstructions', as it needs to be able to patch the contents of
the payload that is being loaded - hence ignoring any '.altintr*'
section at patch generation is not OK.

I have to withdraw this patch, will likely repost with the other
sections that do need to be ignored.

Thanks, Roger.
