There is the very rare case of intra-function-calls; but I *think*
they're all in noinstr/nokprobe code anyway.

For instance we have RSB stuffing code like:

	.rept 16
	call 1f;
	int3
	1:
	.endr
	add $(BITS_PER_LONG/8) * 16, %_ASM_SP

And the proposed will be horribly confused by that. But like said; it
should also never try and untangle it.
