Indeed I did. But it looks like objtool actually does parse .fixup. What
appears to go wrong is the 'visited' marker for backward jumps.
If we've been there with AC=0 first, and then backjump with AC=1, things
go missing.
I've also now confused myself on how it branches from alternatives. It
looks like it now considers paths that take the STAC alternative, and
exit through the NOP alternative (which should be CLAC) and then hit
RET with AC=1.
I'll get this sorted, eventually..
