Thanks for the quick reply, Nick. The latest clang-17 does indeed fix
the issue. Apologies for not trying that first -- I was using the only
tagged verson of clang-17 (which admittedly is not a released version),
and figured it wasn't a compiler bug given that the assembly looked
sane, compilers are allowed to do all sorts of interesting things with
__noreturn, and that [1] removes -fstack-protector from start_kernel()
altogether.

Ack, thanks for letting me know for next time.
