This assembles to a single instruction
movq %rsi, cc_mask(%rip)
and the definition is in a header file, so I'm not convinced it makes
a different.
And looking at your series, I think there is no need to modify coco.c
at all if you just take this patch instead: the other code in that
file should not be called early at all (unless our downstream has
substantial changes there)
