Uh, which one didn't I clarify?

FIX_STACK() is already invoked from debug(), which is annotated, but
FIX_STACK() isn't.  And that messes with the stack, so for a few
instructions the annotations are all wrong.

When I annotated FIX_STACK(), I found entry.S wouldn't compile because
nmi() included FIX_STACK() but was completely missing annotations
in that piece. So I added them so FIX_STACK()'s annotations would
compile...

Should I send a combined patch, leave the two patches separate, or just
drop it?
