It appears that gcc may put some code in ".text.unlikely" or
".text.hot" sections. Right now those aren't accounted for in unwind
tables. Add them.
I found some docs about this at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.6.2/gcc.pdf
Without this, if you have slub_debug turned on, you can get messages
that look like this:
unwind: Index not found 7f008c50
