I think this happens to work, but is fragile. Because nothing happens to
get placed in .rodata between the _entry_tramp_data_start data and the
__sdei_asm_trampoline_next_handler data, the
__sdei_asm_trampoline_next_handler data doesn't spill into a separate
page from the _entry_tramp_data_start data.

If we did start adding stuff into .rodata between those two, there'd be
a bigger risk of things going wrong. That was why I suggested a
.entry.tramp.data section previously.

Indeed. I can't see a neat way of avoiding this right now, so should we
drop these patches and leave the code as-is (but with comments as to the
special requirements that it has)?

Thanks,
Mark.
