My assumption is that whatever algorithm Robin uses it will not guarantee to 
detect these special memory addresses, it will only try its best.  ie it would 
detect simple instruction sequences or maybe well known patterns of 
instructions and leave it at that.  (In fact if Robin is being really clever 
the algorithm might take as input a set of regular expressions to match 
instruction patterns and return a name of the memory location when a hit occurs).
