I'm thinking this latter warning indicates an objtool bug (as the BUG
warning claims).  If a function is ignored with
STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD() then objtool should probably also ignore its
hints.  Then we should be able to get rid of the #undef/#ifdef
UNWIND_HINT_FUNC silliness.

The other warning is correct and STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD() still needs
to be behind '#ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER' since the function is missing
a frame pointer.  So maybe we can make a STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD_FP()
or similar.

I'll post a few patches.
