commit 095b8303f3835c68ac4a8b6d754ca1c3b6230711 upstream.

There is infrastructure to rewrite return thunks to point to any
random thunk one desires, unwrap that from CALL_THUNKS, which up to
now was the sole user of that.

  [ bp: Make the thunks visible on 32-bit and add ifdeffery for the
    32-bit builds. ]
