Subject: An objtool warning from mainline

Hello!

I am seeing a couple of objtool warnings in allmodconfig builds in
current mainline.  One of them is fixed by Borislav's patch [1], but I
do not see a fix for the other one:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: exc_nmi+0x2b3: call to __const_udelay() leaves .noinstr.text section

Borislav's older fix [2] is in tree.

I see this with gcc version 11.3.0 (Ubuntu 11.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) and also with
gcc version 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-18) (GCC).

Thoughts?

							Thanx, Paul
