This function seems long enough (to me) not to use "static inline".
Note that most part of this function belongs to a cold path, and IMO
it's bad to inline a cold path into every caller.

I'd write "return is_pc_ins(&insn) || is_branch_ins(&insn);" here, but
there is no behavioral difference anyway.
