I really don't see the problem with them; they work as expected.
We rely on .altinstruction order elsewhere as well.
That said; there is a tiny difference between:
ALTERNATIVE_2(oldinst, newinst1, flag1, newinst2, flag2)
and
ALTERNATIVE(ALTERNATIVE(oldinst, newinst1, flag1),
newinst2, flag2)
and that is alt_instr::instrlen, when the inner alternative is the
smaller, then the outer alternative will add additional padding that the
inner (obviously) doesn't know about.
However that is easily fixed. See the patch below. Boots for
x86_64-defconfig. Look at how much gunk we can delete.

static_call() looses the inline, but perhaps the function is too large
to get inlined anyway.

Subject: x86/alternative: Simply ALTERNATIVE_n()
Instead of making increasingly complicated ALTERNATIVE_n()
implementations, use a nested alternative expressions.
The only difference between:
ALTERNATIVE_2(oldinst, newinst1, flag1, newinst2, flag2)
and
ALTERNATIVE(ALTERNATIVE(oldinst, newinst1, flag1),
newinst2, flag2)
is that the outer alternative can add additional padding when the inner
alternative is the shorter one, which results in alt_instr::instrlen
being inconsistent.
However, this is easily remedied since the alt_instr entries will be
consecutive and it is trivial to compute the max(alt_instr::instrlen) at
runtime while patching.
