This is useful for allowing code to efficiently take an address
that can be later mapped onto debug info. Currently the hwasan
pass achieves this by taking the address of the current function:
http://llvm-cs.pcc.me.uk/lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/HWAddressSanitizer.cpp#921
but this costs two instructions (plus a GOT entry in PIC code) per function
with stack variables. This will allow the cost to be reduced to a single
instruction.
