I'm confused here, and as I'm on my phone on an aircraft I can't check the back thread, but am I gathering that this tries to unbreak W^X during module loading by removing functions which use alternatives?
The right thing to do is to apply alternatives before the pages are marked +x-w, like we do with the kernel proper during early boot, if this isn't already the case (sorry again, see above.)
If we *do*, what is the issue here? Although boot_cpu_has() isn't slow (it should in general be possible to reduce to one testb instruction followed by a conditional jump) it seems that "avoiding an alternatives slot" *should* be a *very* weak reason, and seems to me to look like papering over some other problem.
