Same as for any other generated code, the unwinder will try to fall back
to frame pointers, and if that doesn't work, the unwind stops.

That commit didn't change anything since it was already not being
directly executed anyway, but rather used to generate code on the fly.

And before that commit it was being ignored by ORC anyway, thanks to
STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD.  Which can now be removed since this code is
now data and objtool will no longer try to understand it.
