There are currently a few different patching mechanisms in the kernel, and
it would be good if we could collect more of them under some common
framework.
For example, it might be possible to do the SMP-on-UP fixups using the same
framework you propose. Best not to attempt that yet, though.
Overall, this looks well thought out and useful, though it looks like it
has a few issues that need attention.
Comments below.

You might find that the "n" constraint works. The explanation in the
GCC docs is pretty incomprehensible, but at least it exists.
__stringify hacks are not uncommon anyway though, so it's not a problem
either way.

What is the pad argument for? It never seems to be set to anything other
than 0 in your series.
The compiler uses a pretty dumb heuristic to guess the size of asms:
4 * (number of ; or \n in the string)
Directives that the compiler can't predict the size of are not safe if
they output into any segment that the compiler uses. .fill/.skip are
obvious candidates, but macro expansions, .rept, .irp etc. can cause
these problems too.
For example:
void g(int);
void f(void)
{
g(0xd00dfeed);
asm(".skip 0x1000");
}
If you try building this with gcc -marm -Os for example:
/tmp/ccXYm1uP.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccXYm1uP.s:21: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4100)
...because the assembler assumes that it can dump a literal at the end
of the function and reference it from the g() callsite.
It may be that you have some intended future use for pad (such as
pasting one instruction sequence in place of another possibly
differently-sized sequence at fixup time), in which case this might
require a bit more thought.

I have a vague feeling that this should have .text in the name somewhere,
since it is code that gets executed in place.

Why are the _sym and _ofs parameters separate? Nothing in your series
seems to requre _sym to be a symbol or _ofs to be a number; and nothing
passes _ofs != 0, but anyway I don't see why the caller can't add those
two values together in the macro argument.

If _sym or _ofs is a complex expression, the + may mis-bind. If the
_ofs parameter is needed at all, it would probably be a good idea to
have parentheses around _sym and _ofs.

This would not be OK if assembled into the .text section, for the reasons
described above. (The compiler doesn't know about the extra data word
injected by the ldr= pseudo-instruction.)
early_patch_stub puts <code> into a custom section, so that's OK.
However, there's still nothing to ensure that the literal word is in
range of the load. That can be fixed with an .ltorg to dump out the
literal(s) right after the branch following <code> in early_patch_stub.

Should we have "cc" here?
Since this macro is only used with a single instruction _insn, there
would be no way to make use of a condition set by that instruction.
Therefore, flag-setting instructions don't really make any sense here,
and "cc" could be removed.
If so, it could make sense for the apply_patch_imm8() implementation
to check for and reject flag-setting encodings.

This function appears unused.

You need to convert this back to memory order. If fixups might be
applied while the MMU is off, misaligned 32-bit accesses will fail.
It's better to store the two halfwords separately:
__opcode_to_mem_thumb16(__opcode_thumb32_first(foo))
__opcode_to_mem_thumb16(__opcode_thumb32_second(foo))
If the MMU is on, you can use __opcode_to_mem_thumb32(foo) and do
a possibly misaligned store, though.
This may be a good idea even if the MMU is on, because fixup is a
once-only process and we don't expect a meaningful performance
impact from that, especially when caching is enabled. But splitting
the access may also make it easier to reuse the framework in
situations where the cache and MMU are off.
Because of all this, I suggest you don't repeatedly modify *ninsn.
Preparing the value and then writing it (or each half) once is probably
cleaner.

You need __opcode_to_mem_arm() to convert this back to memory order.

Minor nits: the type-unsafety could be dealt with outside this function;
table could be struct patch_info const *.
Also, why do we not just pass end to this function instead of subtracting
the table base and then adding it back again?
