Okay, sounds reasonable. However, is there any generic way to do this in
clang, or will I end up locally patching clang for this?

If the latter is the case, might function annotation be an alternative?
Currently, I can specify __attribute__((annotate("foo"))) for global
variables, but not for functions (both in clang and gcc). I'm not sure where
this limitation comes from, but enabling generic annotation for functions
should also work for me (I can simply add a frontend pass that translates
those annotations into calling conventions for my backend, or leave them as
annotions even).
