Should this not use local name labels instead?

.macro RETPOLINE_JMP reg:req
call .Ldo_rop_\@
.Lspec_trap_\@:
pause
jmp .Lspec_trap_\@
.Ldo_rop_\@:
mov \reg, (%_ASM_SP)
ret
.endm

And I suppose it might be nice to put a little comment with them
explaining how they work.

Ideally this would too, just not sure that works in inline asm.
