4# An x86 alternative with an empty replacement still gets a relocation for its
5# replacement offset, but the label it points at is the end of the previous
6# replacement -- which is also the start of the next one.  The value is
7# meaningless, and get_alt_entry() already ignores it.
8#
9# Cloning it drags in an unrelated neighboring replacement and everything that
10# replacement references.  In the reported case an empty alternative in
11# meminfo_proc_show() pulled in one from proc_kcore_init(), emitting a klp
12# relocation against init text which is long freed by the time the patch is
13# applied.
