I can certainly do that, but it'll introduce yet another patch
dependency (with the patch fixing the entry_64.S annotations), as it
would mean moving out some of the macros from entry_64.S to one
of the headers. That means I'll first have to get clarification on where
you want to go with these annotations altogether.
