Do we really need to worry about retpoline here?
I'm not fully up on all the current vulnerabilities, but can this
really be taken advantage of when it only happens in the transition of
changing a static call with the small chance of one of those calls
triggering the break point?
If someone can take advantage of that, I almost think they deserve
cracking my box ;-)
