The commit title is a bit out-of-date now (I guess it could just be 
something like "remove unnecessary unreachable()" now), but the rest 
looks OK to me - even GCC clearly doesn't expect anything beyond the asm 
to be reachable anyway since the lack of epilogue includes the lack of 
any compiler-generated return. I've checked that GCC 7.2 generates 
identical object files before and after, other than (for obvious 
reasons) the line numbers generated by WANT_WARN_ON_SLOWPATH for all the 
WARN()s appearing later in the file.
