Maybe. I was wondering if it would be possible to overwrite the stack
pointer, like 'mov disp(%rsp), %rsp', which could be possible in asm.
Though I suppose the below code would be harmless, since the CFA
base/offset would already be CFI_SP/cfi->stack_size respectively.
Still, no harm in making the condition more precise.
