There seems to be enough issues with this patch that perhaps I should
just withdraw it. The alternate solution is to fix the skip_prologue
functions that don't do the right thing with assembly language
prologues that don't follow normal conventions. The original
motivation for this patch was an architecture where skip_prologue
always returned PC+2 regardless of what it found.
