HYPERVISOR_get_debugreg() is being called from noinstr code, so it
should be attributed "always_inline".

All this is going to do is push the error one step further in.

Next, objtool will complain that hypercall_page isn't noinstr.

I don't think so:

.pushsection .noinstr.text, "ax"
.balign PAGE_SIZE
SYM_CODE_START(hypercall_page)
.rept (PAGE_SIZE / 32)
UNWIND_HINT_FUNC
.skip 31, 0x90
ret
.endr
