What do you think about the following two:
91cdbed4d7b gas: scfi: untraceable control flow should be a hard error
16cbeae1b27 x86: testsuite: scfi: adjust COFI testcase

The fix for PR gas/31284 (91cdbed4d7b)  builds upon the refactoring done 
in the prior commit (16cbeae1b27).  The fix for PR gas/31284 is "good to 
have" category, not a "must have".
