Maybe at some point we should replace exclusions based on
GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS and KASAN_SANITIZE and UBSAN_SANITIZE and
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD and so on with something more generic...
something that says "this file will not be built into the normal
kernel, it contains code that runs in realmode / userspace / some
similarly weird context, and none of our instrumentation
infrastructure is available there"...
