Shiny, check this:

$ nm defconfig-build/vmlinux.o | grep setup_vq
00000000004d33a0 t setup_vq
00000000004d4c20 t setup_vq
000000000001edcc t setup_vq.cold
000000000001ee31 t setup_vq.cold
00000000004d3dc0 t vp_setup_vq

$ nm defconfig-build/vmlinux.o | grep e1000_xmit_frame
0000000000741490 t e1000_xmit_frame
0000000000763620 t e1000_xmit_frame
000000000002f579 t e1000_xmit_frame.cold
0000000000032b6e t e1000_xmit_frame.cold

$ nm defconfig-build/vmlinux.o | grep e1000_diag_test
000000000074c220 t e1000_diag_test
000000000075eb70 t e1000_diag_test
000000000002fc2a t e1000_diag_test.cold
0000000000030880 t e1000_diag_test.cold

I guess objtool goes sideways when there's multiple symbols with the
same name in a single object file. This obvously never happens on single
TU .o files.

Not sure what to do about that.
