    Do you mean macros that generate both the instruction and the CFI
    or separate? The major disadvantage of doing it together in a
    single macro is that it is not really readable for any assembler
    programmer anymore, but starts becoming a Linux specific assembler
    language. Likely not a good thing for maintenance. anyone who
    wants to know the real assembler would need to read objdump -S
    output, which is not nice.

    Perhaps it would be a reasonable readability improvement to just use shorter
    cfi macros which are not shouted?
