Note, I have applied the first 3 patches, and got a bunch of new warnings on x86 
64-bit allmodconfig:

 arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x1b: unsupported instruction in callable function
 arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke()+0x1a8: unsupported instruction in callable function
 arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x16: unsupported instruction in callable function
 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: machine_check_poll()+0x166: unsupported instruction in callable function
 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: do_machine_check()+0x147: unsupported instruction in callable function

(That's the vmlinux build - plus 4 more warnings in the modules build.)

That's with GCC 5.3.1.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks,
