Taking a look at the latest report of unreachable instruction from
objtool from 0day bot:
https://groups.google.com/g/clang-built-linux/c/IbF96FeMT8g

$ cd /tmp
$ git clone --depth=1

$ gzip -9 arch/x86/kernel/sev-es.o
<attached>

If I remove CONFIG_KASAN=y, I actually get way more unreachable
instruction failures! Let me play with
tools/testing/ktest/config-bisect.pl and see if I can narrow down the
set of configs from the randconfig. Also, it's possible that there's
more than one bug here.
