Oh bugger indeed. I forgot about that :-(
I added the CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY dependency to
instrumentation_{begin,end}() because they now emit actual code, and I
figured we shouldn't bother 'production' kernels with all them extra
NOPs.
And then I figured (wrongly!) that since I have that, I might as well
add noinstr to is.

Yeah, took a bit of fiddling because objtool is a bit weird vs UD2, but
if you order it just right in the WARN thing it works :-)
You want a new delta without the noinstr thing on?
