It would be better to control it with flags instead of doing it inconsistently
depending on who wrote each pass. We already have -fsanitize=unreachable
-fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error to automatically replace
__builtin_unreachable with __builtin_trap. However, we do not have an opposite
'performance' option for cases where security is irrelevant.
