----------------
We considered a scheme like this before and one problem that we discovered with comparing the hash in this way is that it can produce gadgets, e.g.
```
movabs $0x0123456789abcdef, %rax
cmp %rax, ...
```
the `cmp`instruction ends up being a valid target address because the `movabs` instruction ends in the hash. The way we thought about solving this was to introduce a new intrinsic that would materialize the constant without these gadgets (e.g. invert the `movabs` operand and follow it by a `not`).
