Yeah, I asked whether we should exclude the whole ...cpu/common.c from
profiling - it has mostly init code so it probably doesn't matter
for coverage but no one said anything so I left it to the function
annotation.

And also, I'm still waiting on clang folks to chime in on the New Pass
Manager and whether there's a bug in clang there so that we won't need
the __no_profile annotation at all. I mean, gcc is fine with that config
so unless clang is doing more profiling gunk than gcc and requires that
__llvm_gcov_init constructor... see Nathan's mail upthread.

Thx.
