I think this is okay.

The documentation for SYM_INNER_LABEL says it for labels inside a SYM
function block, is that a problem? This is a function but doesn't have
C calling convention, so asm annotation docs say that it should use
SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL?

BTW. why don't our _GLOBAL() macros use these SYM annotations? I haven't
really looked into them.

Thanks,
