Mostly looks good to me. Just a minor nit.

If the value of the link register is not correct (tail call from asm that didn't set it, stack corruption, memory no longer mapped), then using it for an address calculation may trigger an exception. Without a fixup handler, this will lead to a panic, which will unwind, which will trigger the fault repeatedly in an infinite loop.
We don't observe such failures currently, but we have. Just to be safe, add a fixup handler here so that at least we don't have an infinite loop.

It might be nice to emit a warning here since we'll only hit this case if something fishy is going on with the saved lr.
Yeah, something fishy is going on if that ever happens. Let me create a V2 with an additional print.
