So how about you do a GCC plugin that verifies limits on code-gen
between user_access_begin/user_access_end() ?

 - No CALL/RET
   - implies user_access_end() happens
   - implies no fentry hooks
 - No __preempt_count frobbing
 - No tracepoints
 - ...

That way you put the burden on the special code, not on the rest of the
kernel.
