Otherwise it stays on the return stack and bad things happen. Note how
the below trampoline thing uses regs->sp.

Ideally also the optimized kprobe trampoline, but I've not managed to
fully comprehend that one.

The latter.

Just so.

Yes, relative to regs->sp, which is why we need to pop 'func', otherwise
it stays on the stack.

The trampoline already provides a gap, trampoline_handler() will need to
use int3_emulate_push() if it wants to inject something on the return
stack.
