That's a bunch of insns and their size would inadvertently go into the final
image.
What you should try to do is something like this:
ALTERNATIVE_3("jmp .Lend_legacy_call", "", X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR,
"vmcall; jmp .Lend_legacy_call", X86_FEATURE_VMCALL,
"vmmcall; jmp .Lend_legacy_call", X86_FEATURE_VMW_VMMCALL)
/* bunch of conditional branches and INs and V*MCALLs, etc go
here */
.Lend_legacy_call:
so that you don't have these 26 bytes, as you say, of alternatives to patch but
only the JMPs and the VM*CALLs.
See for an example the macros in arch/x86/entry/calling.h which simply jump
over the code when not needed.
Also, you could restructure the alternative differently so that that bunch of
insns call is completely out-of-line because all current machines support
VM*CALL so you won't even need to patch. You only get to patch when running on
some old rust and there you can just as well go completely out-of-line.
Something along those lines, anyway.

You're kidding, right?
You went to all that trouble in patch 1 to move those to the header only to
*remove* them here?
You do realize that that is a unnecessary churn for no good reason, right?
So that set needs to be restructured differently.
* first patch introduces those new API calls.
* follow-on patches convert the callers to the new API
* last patch removes the old API.
Ok?
And when you redo them, make sure you drop all Reviewed-by tags because the new
versions are not reviewed anymore.
Thx.
