Great, I'd be perfectly fine with such an approach.

Also, if we have that then we could re-apply Alexey's patch and switch to INT3 
(only on 64-bit kernels) without any trouble, because objtool should detect any 
execution flow bugs before the INT3 could trigger, right?

I.e. any INT3 fault would show a combination of *both* an objtool bug and a 
probable code flow bug - which I suspect would warrant crashing the box ...

Thanks,
