Griffen, Please do not reply to an arbitrary thread from the mailing list if you have a new question to ask. Instead please create a new message. By replying to a message, even changing the subject there is a References header that is preserved and links your message back to previous topic. This makes searching the mailing list for information more difficult.
As for your problem, you could add a nop-equivalent instruction that in encoded in a strange way or one of the unused nop instructions that doesn't show up in your code to signal the beginning of the region of interest.
