That's odd - this has never been needed, because all __tsan_unaligned
are aliases for the non-unaligned functions. And all those are in the
uaccess_safe_builtin list already.

So if suddenly the alias name becomes the symbol that objtool sees, we
might need to add all the other functions as well.

Is this a special build with a new compiler?
