The warning would be in the loop in pv_call_dest(), so it would
potentially print multiple warnings, one for each potential dest.

It's confusing to warn about the call site and the destination in two
separate warnings.  That's why I'm proposing combining them into a
single warning (which still could end up as multiple warnings if there
are multiple affected dests).

Ok, so something like so?

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __flush_tlb_all_noinstr+0x4: indirect call to pv_ops[1] (native_flush_tlb_local) leaves .noinstr.text section
