I will punt it for GCC 9 and add new call patterns with a scratch register
based on your previous feedback:

This is the only one missing.  I do have a proposal to use retpoline with
CET in user space such that a single binary will support both retpoline
and CET.  It requires linker, GCC and glibc changes.  But I don't know
if there is a demand for it.
