Yap, that does it. And yes, we don't return here. I guess objtool
complains because

"7. file: warning: objtool: func()+0x5c: stack state mismatch

   The instruction's frame pointer state is inconsistent, depending on
   which execution path was taken to reach the instruction.

   ...

   Another possibility is that the code has some asm or inline asm which
   does some unusual things to the stack or the frame pointer.  In such
   cases it's probably appropriate to use the unwind hint macros in
   asm/unwind_hints.h.
"

Lemme test this one a bit on my machines and queue it.

Thx.
