Patch 1/2 is a must. Patch 2/2 is a nice_to_have and would be great to
have a similar patch for every arch... but I do not feel confident
enough to send it for every arch :)

If we have linker scripts for all the arches do we need 1/2?
I think so, because the user might want to load a kernel <6.4 built
with clang > 16.
