Might be useful to have an example output of all ths somewhere, because
unless I go build my own clang again, I can't tell from these patches
what actual codegen looks like.

Going from the below, I seem to be able to reverse engineer some of it:

  .long \signature
  int3
  int3
my_func:
  ENDBR
  ...
  ret

And then the callsites look like (clang *always* uses r11, right?):


  cmpl	\signature, -6(%r11)
  je	1f
  ud2
1:
  call __x86_indirect_thunk_r11

Reverse xmas please..

insn_decode_kernel()

That's not sufficient to uniquely identify cmp, you also need to look at
the modrm to find r==7 I think.

This way you'll first get a BUG splat and then tack on the CFI thing.
Seems a bit daft to have two splats.
