- * TODO: Document where this is needed, or get rid of it.

* rare case: jmpq *[addr](%rip)
+ *
+ * This check is for a rare gcc quirk, currently only seen in
+ * three driver functions in the kernel, only with certain
+ * obscure non-distro configs.
+ *
+ * As part of an optimization, gcc makes a copy of an existing
+ * switch jump table, modifies it, and then hard-codes the jump
+ * (albeit with an indirect jump) to use a single entry in the
+ * table. The rest of the jump table and some of its jump
+ * targets remain as dead code.
+ *
+ * In such a case we can just crudely ignore all unreachable
+ * instruction warnings for the entire object file. Ideally we
+ * would just ignore them for the function, but that would
+ * require redesigning the code quite a bit. And honestly
+ * that's just not worth doing: unreachable instruction
+ * warnings are of questionable value anyway, and this is such
+ * a rare issue.
+ *
+ * kbuild reports:
