Actually, looking at the object code, it uses a lot of stack space and
has several calls to __asan_report_load*() functions.  Probably due to
inlining of other functions which have stack variables.

I don't think that would be sufficient unless it were disabled for
__restore_processor_state() and all the functions it calls (and the
functions they call, etc), which wouldn't necessarily be
straightforward.

I tried that already, but it hung because restore_processor_state()
hadn't been called yet (the catch-22 I mentioned aboved).
