Not just BTI, we also flag PAC usage in there too and could add other
extensions going forwards. While the note isn't actively used by
anything right now due to the kernel mapping the vDSO prior to userspace
starting it is part of the ABI and something could end up wanting to use
it and getting confused if it's not there. It would be much better to
fix the alignment issue.
