Hi Anders,

Thanks for fixing this!

I wonder if there is some compiler/make flag to turn this off for the
whole file?

We turn as much instrumentation as possible already for this file in Makefile:

KASAN_SANITIZE := n
UBSAN_SANITIZE_kasan.o := n
KCOV_INSTRUMENT := n
CFLAGS_REMOVE_kasan.o = -pg
CFLAGS_kasan.o := $(call cc-option, -fno-conserve-stack -fno-stack-protector)

These functions call check_memory_region, which is presumably inlined.
But if it's not inlined later in some configuration, or we just
shuffle code a bit, we can get the same problem again.
