Yaey :(

I see the same is true for the thread flag manipulation too.

I'll take a look and see if we can layer things so that we can use the arch_*()
helpers and wrap those consistently so that we don't have to check the CPP
guard.

Ideally we'd have a a better language that allows us to make some
context-senstive decisions, then we could hide all this gunk in the lower
levels with somethin like:

if (!THIS_IS_A_NOINSTR_FUNCTION()) {
explicit_instrumentation(...);
}

... ho hum.

Mark.
