Yeah, I was just doing that now. Looks like there _is_ something
getting changed just from having the plugin enabled, but it appears
localized. For me, the first non-offset change happens in
lookup_user_key and persists for a while.

-ffffffff813893a7: 0f 85 55 03 00 00 jne
ffffffff81389702 <lookup_user_key+0x3f2>
-ffffffff813893ad: f0 41 ff 06 lock incl (%r14)
-ffffffff813893b1: 83 fb 07 cmp $0x7,%ebx
-ffffffff813893b4: 4c 89 b5 70 ff ff ff mov %r14,-0x90(%rbp)
...
+ffffffff813893a7: 0f 85 35 03 00 00 jne
ffffffff813896e2 <lookup_user_key+0x3d2>
+ffffffff813893ad: 4d 89 f0 mov %r14,%r8
+ffffffff813893b0: f0 41 ff 06 lock incl (%r14)
+ffffffff813893b4: 83 fb 07 cmp $0x7,%ebx
+ffffffff813893b7: 4c 89 b5 70 ff ff ff mov %r14,-0x90(%rbp)

And removing the TYPE_ATTRIBUTES() poking makes the register storage
differences go away, but there's still a 0x40 byte offset delta.

I'll continue looking at this tomorrow.
