Subject: [PATCH 5/7] x86/speculation: Annotate intra-function calls

Some speculative execution mitigations (like retpoline) use intra-
function calls. Provide a macro to annotate such intra-function calls
so they can be properly handled by objtool, and use this macro to
annotate intra-function calls.
