Note: this hard relies on the indirection using %r11 and %r11
being clobbered by the call-abi. That is, there is no expectation on the
value of %r11 after this.

If GCC were to grow kCFI support this needs additional changes; one
option would be to use the 4 byte nop to rewrite it into something like:

	movl	$0x12345678, %r10d
	movl	%[reg], %r11
	sub	$16, %r11
