livepatch: introduce --force option
Introduce a xen-livepatch tool --force option, that's propagated into the
hyerpvisor for livepatch operations. The intention is for the option to be
used to bypass some checks that would otherwise prevent the patch from being
loaded.
Re purpose the pad field in xen_sysctl_livepatch_op to be a flags field that
applies to all livepatch operations. The flag is currently only set by the
hypercall wrappers for the XEN_SYSCTL_LIVEPATCH_UPLOAD operation, as that's
so
far the only one where it will be used initially. Other uses can be added
as
required.
Note that helpers would set the .pad field to 0, that's been removed since
the
structure is already zero initialized at definition.
No functional usages of the new flag introduced in this patch.
