FWIW, it's been renamed already. I'll CC Mark back into the thread.

Nooo. Much like __nocfi, this should be extremely rare and is only used in
places that must not be doing CFI nor working on the jump tables (e.g. the
syscall MSR). There list for arm64 in -next, for example, is short:


429d9a552e81 arm64: ftrace: use function_nocfi for ftrace_call
fbcdf27674bc arm64: add __nocfi to __apply_alternatives
f2324191e959 arm64: add __nocfi to functions that jump to a physical address
c4a384170f17 arm64: use function_nocfi with __pa_symbol
5198a15901d2 psci: use function_nocfi for cpu_resume
8e284f3ebed2 bpf: disable CFI in dispatcher functions
