Now that GCC 8 is out, several people have complained about a bunch of objtool warnings. These patches fix all known warnings.
Patch 1 is a repost of a previous fix -- unrelated to GCC 8, but a prereq for the following two patches. Patch 2 fixes the vast majority of the warnings, caused by GCC 8's new usage of "cold" subfunctions for unlikely text. Patch 3 fixes a few more warnings, related to switch tables.
