There's no LKML discussion about the built-in, but there were earlier proposals 
of using an attribute to accomplish the same thing. @pcc suggested using a 
built-in instead, and the reviewers in D122673 
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D122673> agreed that it's a more appropriate 
solution. In the kernel, the indirect `static_call` trampoline calls that are 
patched into direct calls at boot are the primary reason we need a 
finer-grained method of disabling CFI checks.
