Thanks, I'll send it as a complete patch.  Please reply there with your 
Signed-off-by.

Related to this, I don't see anything in arch/x86/kernel/static_call.c 
that limits this code to x86-64:

                 if (func == &__static_call_return0) {
                         emulate = code;
                         code = &xor5rax;
                 }


On 32-bit, it will be patched as "dec ax; xor eax, eax" or something 
like that.  Fortunately it doesn't corrupt any callee-save register but 
it is not just a bit funky, it's also not a single instruction.
