For X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE_AMD, the call won't be aligned like the others,
it will be after the lfence instruction so ORC data won't be at the same
place. I am adding some code in objtool to check that alternatives don't
change the stack, but I should actually be checking if all alternatives
have the same unwind instructions at the same place.

Other than that, my only question would be any impact on performances.
Retpoline code was added with trying to limit performance impact.
Here, JMP_NOSPEC has now an additional (long) jump, and CALL_NOSPEC
is doing a long call instead of a near call. But I have no idea if this
has a visible impact.
