NAK. Just below this snippet is unreachable();

Can you reply with objtool -dr output on a problematic fault.o? Josh,
it *looks* like annotate_unreachable() should be doing the right
thing, but something is clearly busted.

Also, shouldn't compiler-clang.h contain a reasonable definition of
unreachable()?
