 If we then work out in each direction and see matched push/pops,

we need for inlining.
  

No, that is a very dangerous suggestion.  You absolutely *cannot* do
this safely without explicitly marking the start EIP of this code. 
You *must* use metadata to do that.  It is never safe to disassemble
backwards or "rewind" EIP for x86 code. 

What do you mean the instruction before is "mov $0x52515000,%eax"?

Yeah, you're right.  Oh well.
