Thanks.  The first one is a relatively easy fix in objtool's drap
register handling.  I have a working patch for it.

The second one is a little trickier.

Instead of:

  lea	0x8(%rsp), %rsp

GCC is doing:

  lea    0x8(%rsp), %rcx
  mov    %rcx, %rsp

I don't see why GCC would do that.  We should probably ask some GCC
folks.  Objtool isn't built to track register values, so it may be a
little tricky to deal with that pattern correctly if we can't convince
GCC to fix it.

Anyway, I'm going to be on vacation next week, but I'll investigate
further when I get back.
