I've squashed it - attached the latest version. Does this look good to everyone?
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] objtool, compiler.h: Fix __unreachable section relocation size
Linus reported the following commit broke module loading on his laptop:
d1091c7fa3d5 ("objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends")
It showed errors like the following:
module: overflow in relocation type 10 val ffffffffc02afc81
module: 'nvme' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel
The problem is that the __unreachable section addresses are stored using
the '.long' asm directive, which isn't big enough for .text section
relative kernel addresses. Use relative addresses instead:
".long %c0b - .\t\n"
