Assuming this is an optimization and not required to boot/run; you
could test that quickly by putting a return statement as the first
statement in the list_for_each_entry loop in arch_rewrite_retpolines.
If that works, you could instead use a counter to try to see which
symbol is bad; once you bisect a counter value where things start/stop
booting, you could try to print the corresponding symbol (ie `name`).
(Optimization Fuel) (Sorry if any of that is unclear, let's follow up
off thread if so). Maybe that symbol will give us further clues? I
think that would tell us whether it's a problematic jump vs call, and
via which register.
