That must be something like this:
0000000000000000 <.altinstr_replacement>:
0: 48 89 d1 mov %rdx,%rcx
3: f3 a4 rep movsb %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
5: c3 retq
right?
In any case, anything with alternatives is probably a false positive
because even if instructions appear outside of the containing function,
they get patched in and are actually inside. Jump offsets get fixed up
properly too. Should, at least :-)
