The ORC unwinder showed a warning [1] which revealed the stack layout
didn't match what was expected. The problem was that paravirt patching
had replaced "CALL *pv_ops.irq.save_fl" with "PUSHF;POP". That changed
the stack layout between the PUSHF and the POP, so unwinding from an
interrupt which occurred between those two instructions would fail.
Part of the agreed upon solution was to rework the custom paravirt
patching code to use alternatives instead, since objtool already knows
how to read alternatives (and converging runtime patching infrastructure
is always a good thing anyway). But the main problem still remains,
which is that runtime patching can change the stack layout.
Making stack layout changes in alternatives was disallowed with commit
