I went to the trouble of making the PDA completely set up before any C
code ran. Did you undo that?
Andrew mentioned that people have various hacks which hook into mcount,
and want to use current/smp_processor_id, which means that that they
have to work from the first function prologue.
It also simplifies things to get all that set up ASAP so there's no
bootstrap dependency problem.
