Objtool doesn't really do value tracking, but I'll see if I can hack
something together.

That is, as long as its always:

  xor %r11, %r11
  cs call __x86_indirect_thunk_r11

without any instructions in between, it should be relatively straight
forward. But the moment there can be anything in between we need to
track the value of r11 back from the call or something.
