I noticed that this is for the missing second branch sample. Technically
the first one is also still missing, but it doesn't have the origin set,
only the destination, so I'm not sure if we need to do anything with it,
but the first one always looks like this:

  0 [unknown] ([unknown]) =>     ffff8a3b9100 _start+0x0

Followed by this one which you now generate the disassembly for:

  ffff8a3b9104 _start+0x4 (ld-2.31.so) => ffff8a3b9b80 _dl_start+0x0

Either way:
