Yes, so the optimal thing would be to have the kernel generate the CALL
<REP_GOOD> variant when building. Those are going to be the default
opcodes in vmlinux coming out of build.
Then, when booted on ERMS machines, we'll patch in CALL <ERMS version>
and as a last resort fallback, the CALL to the legacy variant on really
old boxes.
/me puts it on the TODO.
