Hm, no, it causes a bunch of build warnings that look like things are
about to break:
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x1b: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke_early()+0x83: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: apply_alternatives()+0x366: unsupported instruction in callable function
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke()+0x196: unsupported instruction in callable function

So I'm going to drop this patch from both trees now.  Can you provide a
working backported version, or find what else needs to be applied as
well for this patch?

thanks,
