GCC's -fpatchable-function-entry=5 may emit five one-byte NOPs. Normally
that's not safe to patch because some might jump into a later nop.
But for the gcc case it's safe because nobody jumps into the nops.
Add a %multinop that allows the user opting into patching these sites.
This way patching for the gcc instrumentation works.
