Hm, that throws this off a bit for the older hypervisors (to which
I had backported livepatch). Perhaps we could add some logic to
check if common/Kconfig exist?

At this point rather than adding extra logic to support different
still-experimental versions, I'd rather just have a different branch. Maybe
have a branch per Xen release?


And I also wonder if the --xen-debug option removal should be a seperate
patch?


Well the two are related -- the motivation to use the .config is because the
debug flag is now controlled by the .config rather than the command-line
argument.

But not in the 4.7 that is going out - that 'debug=y' is non-Kconfig?


OK, I'll split it into two. Feel free to create a stable-47 branch in livepatch-build-tools.git with only the .config patch. Personally, I'd rather not spend much time backporting stuff to support a tech preview feature on an older branch.
