Well, hooking could_trap_p sounds like an easy solution.

Gimple bits, on the other hand, are not.  Keeping those up-to-date is
always a real pain.  We have had several gimple bits in the history of
the TM code, and we've gotten rid of them all because they were too
invasive to maintain.

OTOH, I have no better suggestion...
