Subject: Whitelisting LivePatch

I'm hitting this false positive quite frequently and I was just
wondering if there is any way to modify p_lkrg to whitelist this type of
changes? What Canonical LivePatch does is, well, essentially patch the
living kernel which obviously changes the code signature. LivePatch
works through a kernel module called lkp_Ubuntu_4_15_0_45_48_generic_49
(or similar).
