You can move this higher up for interlocking reasons (though these days
CPUs do a lot of speculative loads).

	// We are *not* using ILP32

You can avoid the branches by using csel, something like this:

	ldr	x16, [tsk, #TI_FLAGS]
	adrp	stbl, sys_call_table
	...
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM64_ILP32
	adrp	x17, sys_call_ilp32_table
	tst	x16, #_TIF_32BIT_AARCH64
	csel	stbl, stbl, x17, eq
#endif
el0_svc_naked:
	...

There is el0_svc_compat branching to el0_svc_naked and it won't have x16
set anymore. So you need to add an ldr x16 to el0_svc_compat as well.
