Sure, my bad. Each enum attribute needs an entry in the language reference to define it's meaning, see also https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#function-attributes
The content is in llvm/docs/LangRef.rst.

We need to first define the meaning of `nocallback` in the IR, without that it is hard to do anything else.

The problem in `llvm/test/Bitcode/attributes.ll` is clear?
