Eh, I don't agree at all.  We'll be calling a function to figure out if
the affected PC value has CFI information.  Where's that function going
to live?  In the CFI reader presumably, and it would be the appropriate
time to construct fake debug info.

I think that Michal's patch would look substantively the same after
these pending changes.
