Are you sure P6_NOP5 can't happen on non 64bit? Just because it is not
configured does not mean that the CPU can not handle it. Look at the
code I did in arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c to determine what nop to use.
Maybe we can make that generic and have at boot up, the kernel determine
a proper 5byte nop.

Same here, and this should also just use the JUMP_LABEL_NOP insead of
spelling it out as it does here. memcpy should work.
