I meant to reply to Josh suggesting this, but... how can this be? If you
scribble the ENDBR with an INT3 things will #CP and we'll never get to
the #BP.

Also, we tried very hard to not have a literal encode ENDBR (I really
should teach objtool about this one :/). If it somehow makes sense to
keep this clause, please use: gen_endbr()
