Subject: [PATCH 05/20] x86/uaccess/xen: Suppress SMAP warnings

drivers/xen/privcmd.o: warning: objtool: privcmd_ioctl()+0x1414: call to hypercall_page() with UACCESS enabled

Xen needs to do HV calls with AC=1 for hysterical raisins. Make the
warning go away.

XXX: arguably we should rename ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE to
     ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE.
