Blergh, those are INT3 instructions, the first is the LDT stub padding
while the second is that INT3 you asked about earlier.

I can mark then all using SLS style rules, but that then triggers:

arch/x86/kernel/reboot.o: warning: objtool: native_machine_emergency_restart()+0x8f: BUG: why am I validating an ignored function?

which does horrible things on purpose to tickle a tripple fault in order
to reboot the machine.

Perhaps we should ignore INT3 by default, just like NOP ?
