It is worth noting that not all architectures support
'-fsplit-machine-functions' but I guess that does not matter too much
because it will only be used if a profile is provided, which would
require an architecture that is supported by the AutoFDO tooling? The
documentation is x86_64 focused but aarch64 works as well, any others
that the kernel supports?
