Based on that, I'm experimenting with %note instead.  It's a little more
complicated since that has to be escaped to %%note for C probes, but not
escaped for probes in pure ASM source files.  But that's just an #ifdef
__ASSEMBLER__, and so far this seems to work.

I'd appreciate if you can confirm it with your "?"-patched clang.

Thanks,
Josh
