So the alternative is something like:

__visible bool ex_handler_wuss(const struct exception_table_entry *fixup,
			       struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr)
{
	regs->ip = ex_fixup_addr(fixup);
	regs->ax = -1L;

	return true;
}


	int err = 0;

	asm volatile("1: INSN_WUSS\n"
		     "2:\n"
		     _ASM_EXTABLE_HANDLE(1b, 2b, ex_handler_wuss)
		     : "=a" (err)
		     : "S" (val), "D" (addr));

But I'm not at all sure that's actually better.
