Yes, basically.  Objtool has figured out that these are calls to
functions which never return.  So the instruction after the call is
unreachable.  Usually GCC also knows that, and knows not to emit the
extra unusuable instructions, but I guess this plugin is different.

But this issue basically makes UBSAN_TRAP unusable, right?  Should
UBSAN_ALIGNMENT and UBSAN_TRAP be made mutually exclusive?
