That doesn't sound sufficient to ensure that `endbr` will be the first 
instruction in that basic block, which I'm guessing is a requirement. PHI nodes 
might cause register copies / spills to appear before `endbr`, and 
instrumentation passes typically insert code at the top of basic blocks. It 
sounds like we might need a more complete solution for tracking indirect branch 
target blocks. Maybe `indirectbr` and basic block addresses already feed into 
this, but I'm out of my depth here.

Anyway, I don't want to make a value judgment here. I'm in favor of this 
change. We should allow users to apply `nomerge` to inline asm, whether it is a 
workaround or not.
