+ *   This feature is strictly UB per the C standard (since it casts a function
+ *   pointer to a different signature) and relies on the architecture ABI to
+ *   make things work. In particular it relies on Caller Stack-cleanup and the
+ *   whole return register being clobbered for short return values. All normal
+ *   CDECL style ABIs conform.
+ *
+ *   In particular the x86_64 implementation replaces the 5 byte CALL
+ *   instruction at the callsite with a 5 byte clear of the RAX register,
+ *   completely eliding any function call overhead.

+ * EXPORT_STATIC_CALL() vs EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_TRAMP():
+ *
+ *   The difference is that the _TRAMP variant tries to only export the
+ *   trampoline with the result that a module can use static_call{,_cond}() but
+ *   not static_call_update().
