3) would result in 16+5 bytes padding, what does that do for alignment?

Functions should be 16 byte aligned.

Also, did you make sure all the code in arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c
still works? Because adding extra padding in the CFI_CLANG case moves
where the CFI bytes are emitted and all the CFI rewriting code goes
sideways.
