I suppose we could add a discardable annotation to the ENTRY macro and
have objtool validate that it's in a text section.  I'm not sure whether
it's worth it, but I could do it if you think it's a good idea.

Below is a tentative objtool patch which catches asm code falling
through to INT3 padding, though objtool is 64-bit only so there won't be
any 32-bit coverage.  It found zero hits on my config.  I'll clean it up
and submit it tomorrow-ish.
