Ok. I have created a new topic branch for the objtool commits:
tip:core/objtool,
and merged tip:ras/core into it (which hosts 548acf19234d).
So please use tip:core/objtool as a base from now on.
Two more minor observations:
Please re-order the patches slightly so that the annotations are added first,
and
objtool is added and Kconfig-enabled in the final patches.

btw., please use the more generic 'objtool: ' prefix, the concept is not
fundamentally x86 specific - especially once dwarf debuginfo is interpreted it
will be useful beyond x86 as well I suspect.
