Yeah, that's a very good point.

I think my preference would be to fail safe (i.e. leave in the
instrumentation), but the intent of noinstr is pretty clear. :P I wonder
if, instead, we could adjust objtool to yell about cases where calls are
made in noinstr functions (like it does for UACCESS)... maybe it already
does?
