Oh, you're right. I missed this because we're not using FineIBT, and
when this patch was originally written we had not yet implemented a
Rust equivalent to -fpatchable-function-entry=. However, that flag is
now available as of rustc version 1.80.0, so it shouldn't be an issue.
I'll fix this for v2 of this series.

Thanks for catching this!

As for whether it works other than that, I've been using this on my
personal phone together with Rust Binder for several months, so it's
well tested on arm64.
