Yes, the current model of producing a on the side vector of machine 
moves doesn't look like the best thing to do now that we produce cfi 
directives.

I was thinking about just creating pseudo instructions that map 1:1 to 
the cfi directives (and ARM, and SEH). Codegen would create the 
appropriate one depending on the target. This would also avoid the silly 
labels that we still create when producing cfi.
