A little something like so, then?

Subject: objtool: Add support for intra-function calls

Change objtool to support intra-function calls. On x86, an intra-function
call is represented in objtool as a push onto the stack (of the return
address), and a jump to the destination address. That way the stack
information is correctly updated and the call flow is still accurate.

+ This warning means that a direct call is done to a destination which

If the error doesn't seem to make sense, it could be a bug in objtool.
Feel free to ask the objtool maintainer for help.
