I would prefer to keep this behind a flag (similarly to `-mibt-seal`), so we can better control when and where the optimization enabled. For example, enabling this implicitly would currently break LTO+KCFI kernel builds as the kernel has global functions that are not address-taken in C code, but still end up being indirect called because their addresses were taken in assembly code that wasn't visible to LTO (e.g. arm64's `alternative_cb` mechanism).
