Indeed, Intel SDM specifically states that for the RET instruction "In 64-bit
mode, the default operation size of this instruction is the stack-address size,
i.e. 64 bits."
However, experiments show this is not the case. Here is for example objdump of
small 64-bit asm:
4004f1: ca 14 00 lret $0x14
4004f4: 48 cb lretq
4004f6: 48 ca 14 00 lretq $0x14
Therefore, remove the Stack flag from far-ret instructions.
