Thanks a lot, that was quick!

I've applied both to my randconfig tree now and verified that
both issues are addressed in the full build. There is still
the question of the 0xAE77DEF6_defconfig causing an incredibly
long compile time (minutes!) for the one file when using clang.

I've added Nathan to Cc in case he is motivated to try to
reproduce this.

FWIW, this is the current set of objtool warnings that I get that
don't cause the build to fail:

If you want to investigate those, I can send you the configs and/or
object files for these as well.
