The Objtools maintainer told me to ignore the warnings unless live
patching it's used. This probably it means "Won't Fix" status to this
bug report, however if some kernel hacker will want to fix it I would be
so glad to see those warnings go away.

Hi Franco,
It will be difficult for objtool to support all the tuning options,
especially since they're so rarely used. If you don't use live
patching, it's probably safe to ignore the warnings.
