The patch on its own is not sufficient to fix things; there needs to be
an accompanying objtool patch to generate the correct unwind
information.

This patch only ensures objtool has enough information to be able to
dtrt, but as it stands it shouldn't even compile, it should complain
about an alternative trying to modify the stack and bail.
