And note that this example is fairly 'good' as far as things go, it only
eats the single byte ret instruction and is on an instruction boundary
again, so the rest is good.

There are examples where what it eats results in shifting the
instruction boundary and the rest is _complete_ crap.

Look what it does to sched_cpu_dying:


7199: 48 39 c3 cmp %rax,%rbx
719c: 0f 84 cc 00 00 00 je 726e <sched_cpu_dying+0x1fe>
71a2: 0f ff 41 c6 ud0 -0x3a(%rcx),%eax
71a6: 87 3c 07 xchg %edi,(%rdi,%rax,1)
71a9: 00 00 add %al,(%rax)
71ab: 00 8b 43 04 83 f8 add %cl,-0x77cfbbd(%rbx)
71b1: 01 0f add %ecx,(%rdi)
71b3: 85 4f ff test %ecx,-0x1(%rdi)
71b6: ff (bad)
71b7: ff 48 8b decl -0x75(%rax)
71ba: 44 24 08 rex.R and $0x8,%al


7199: 48 39 c3 cmp %rax,%rbx
719c: 0f 84 cc 00 00 00 je 726e <sched_cpu_dying+0x1fe>
71a2: 0f ff (bad)
71a4: 41 c6 87 3c 07 00 00 movb $0x0,0x73c(%r15)
71ab: 00
71ac: 8b 43 04 mov 0x4(%rbx),%eax
71af: 83 f8 01 cmp $0x1,%eax
71b2: 0f 85 4f ff ff ff jne 7107 <sched_cpu_dying+0x97>
71b8: 48 8b 44 24 08 mov 0x8(%rsp),%rax
71bd: 48 8b 74 24 10 mov 0x10(%rsp),%rsi
