It depends on the how aggressive the inlining works. Without UBSAN,
gcc seems to completely optimze away the loop and just the function
directly, which it can do because 'board_init_funcs' is static.

I assume that the UBSAN object overflow check has the effect of
not dropping the symbol so it can check the size.
