Isn't the proper fix to move ".cfi_endproc" here?  Which I incorrectly
left after the RET for the retpoline.

TEST+Jcc macrofusion has been supported since Merom (Core 2)[*].  CMP+Jcc
have also been fused since Merom, though not for all Jcc flavors (uarch
specific), whereas TEST can fuse with everything.  Sandy Bridge added
fusing of ADD, SUB, INC, DEC, AND and OR, with AND/OR following TEST
in terms of fusing capabilities, the rest following CMP behavior.

Hmm, I still think it makes sense to have @e as the last parameters since
it's the one thing that's optional.  What if the callback prototype were
instead:

typedef int (*sgx_enclave_exit_handler_t)(long rdi, long rsi, long rdx,
					  long ursp, long r8, long r9,
					  void *tcs, int ret,
					  struct sgx_enclave_exception *e);

I.e. put @ret and @e next to each other since they go hand-in-hand.  For
me, that's visually easies to parse than burying 'int ret' or 'struct ... *e'
in the middle of the prototype.

And the relevant asm:
	/* Push @e, "return" value and @tcs as parameters to the callback. */
	push	0x18(%rbp)
	push	%eax
	push	0x10(%rbp)

	/* Pass the untrusted RSP (at exit) to the callback via %rcx. */
	mov	%ebx, %ecx
