That code should have had a comment, but that subtlety was intentional.
As I mentioned earlier, that was a hack for old versions of GCC which
didn't have __builtin_unreachable(). In those cases, GCC doesn't treat
"ud2" as fatal, so this was a way of telling objtool that. Luckily we
can get rid of this hack now that the minimum supported GCC version has
gone up to 4.6.
