Okay, I'll split this off.

Ah, okay. Will do that.

Should be fairly easy, no?
"Just" extend the __noreturn macro to put the function into a ".text.noreturn"
section, which can be handled in a special way by objtool. This would need
an __init_noreturn macro, of course, for a ".init.text.noreturn" section.
