That isn't the right way, something like the below would do, however
there's a reason this isn't done, we use these primitives from the VDSO
which means they're not permitted to write to any kernel memory at all.

We could sort that by creating a raw_ variant that doesn't get the
annotation, something I think is already done for -rt anyway.
