I like that idea.  It could indeed be useful for any other projects
which have asm code.  In fact the musl project has been trying to solve
similar problems with their CFI generation awk script.

It does have some kernel-isms related to the reading of special sections
(.altinstructions, __jump_table, etc).  But that should be harmless for
non-kernel code and could easily be factored out with a compile-time or
cmdline flag if needed.

BTW, since I'm planning on adding a CFI generation option to this tool,
I wonder if "stackvalidate" is a misnomer.  I can't think of anything
better.  Any naming ideas are welcome :-)
