Fine for functions, but it's really not okay to use the same macros for 
data.  Furthermore, we need to consider special entry points that don't 
behave like normal functions -- like system call or interrupt entry.

Why?  Because if we're compiling with frame pointers, we would like the 
wrapper macros for functions to handle setting up and tearing down the 
frame pointer, at least in the common case.
