I don't follow this. Does libunwind provide some way to register FDEs without parsing the FDE content? If so we can definitely use that, but we should still process the whole section: ORC links objects (not functions), and we should register every FDE for an object when it's linked in.

It's also worth noting that ORC and MCJIT have always called `__register_frame` on every frame, which seems like it should be at least as much work as this.
