Yes, I'm aware that this only covers the few things that I have tested.

Use of CFI together with dynamic loading wasn't one of my priorities but
it certainly might be for others

I'm going to disable cfi for that one as well.

Thank you for writing this! I'll look through the list and see if I spot
other issues.
