SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 01/11] arm64: use RET instruction for exiting the trampoline

How safe is it to assume that every microarchitecture will behave as
expected here? Wouldn't it be safer in general not to rely on a memory
load for x30 in the first place? (see below) Or may the speculative
execution still branch anywhere even if the branch target is
guaranteed to be known by that time?

This uses Marc's callback alternative patching for the KASLR case, the
non-KASLR case just uses a plain movz/movk sequence to load the
address of vectors rather than a literal.

(apologies for the patch soup)
