Would you be able to use something like this?

   https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201110101307.GO2651@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net

we could also add __static_call_return1(), if that would help.
I think I'd rather make the default callee return -ENOTSUPP directly and 
remove the "if" completely.  So __static_call_return1() is not 
particularly useful here.
