Do we need to use a specific instruction passed by the caller, or can we
hard-code a trapping instruction here?

If we don't care about the specific instruction, it'd be best to memset this to
0, as 0x00000000 is UDF #0 (which will trap), and that way memset can use DC
ZVA to zero the memory, which is faster than 4 bytes at a time.

If we did that, we can rename this to something like:

	aarch64_insn_clear(void *dst, size_t len)

Assuming the point of this is to trap if/when we accidentally execute the freed
instructions, we need an IPI here, and so this should use flush_icache_range()
or make it the caller's responsibility to do so.
