                                          |- indirect

After reading the changelog, I was expecting ENDBR on every label.

It would be better to move this below the comment about EEXIT.  As is, it looks
like a misplaced annotation on the AEP.  The AEP doesn't need ENDBR, it's the
EEXIT target that needs ENDBR because EEXIT is treated as an indirect branch.

Might also be helpful for future readers to explicitly state in the changelog
that EEXIT is considered an indirect branch.
