    For instance:
    
      entry_SYSCALL_64  /lib/modules/4.16.0-rc5-00086-gdf09348f
    
    /build/vmlinux

             │     → jne    swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode
        0.32 │       shl    $0x10,%rcx
        0.32 │       sar    $0x10,%rcx

        2.27 │       cmpq   $0x33,0x88(%rsp)
        1.29 │     → jne    swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode
             │       mov    0x30(%rsp),%r11

             │     → jne    swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode

    It'll behave just like a "call" instruction, i.e. press enter or right
    arrow over one such line and the browser will navigate to the annotated
    disassembly of that function, which when exited, via left arrow or esc,
    will come back to the calling function.
    
    Now to support jump to an offset on a different function...
