Well, CFI is already in mainline for arm64, whereas static call
support is not. So we have to deal with it one way or the other.

So for the static call targets, I agree that we want to support any
expression that produces a function pointer, but that part is not
actually broken, it is just sub-optimal iff you are using CFI Clang.
For taking the address of the trampoline, I think the solutions we
have are sufficient (although I am not inclined to add the magic sig
to arm64 if the label is sufficient).

That means we can support static calls on arm64 now without breaking
Clang CFI, and work on a solution for the redundant jumps on a more
relaxed schedule.
