This looks good to me with one minor stylistic thing:

Might be good to put a comment here saying that this is terminating the
list rather than detecting a NULL function pointer:

	{ /* sentinel */ }

is a common idiom for that.

Given that it's a fixed array we could also...

> +	for (func = special_functions; func->start; func++) {
> +		if (pc >= func->start && pc < func->end)

...do these as

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(special_functions); i++) 

so you don't need something like that, though that gets awkward when you
have to write out special_functions[i].field a lot.

So many different potential colours for the bikeshed!
