I wonder - now that EX_blah and EX_SIZE both live in the one header
file, if we could calculate EX_SIZE based on the last offset... or have
a BUILD_BUG_ON or something? ... just trying not to lose the sanity
checking afforded to us by the .if macro we lose when moving these out
of exceptions-64s.S...

That change probably belongs in the previous patch :)

Beyond that, I'm still wrapping my head around the deep magic going on
here! Hopefully I'll get a bit a bit further next time I look.

Kind regards,
