I wonder if we can simplify this (and drop the indirect branch) by
getting rid of the above cruft, and instead just use the out-of-line
trampoline as the default for inline as well.

Then the inline case could fall back to the out-of-line implementation
(by patching the trampoline's jmp dest) before static_call_initialized
is set.
