It might be safer to start off by just putting all SYM_CODE into a
section then pulling bits we know to be safe out of the section as
needed - we know that anything that's SYM_CODE is doing something
non-standard and needs checking to verify that the unwinder will be
happy with it and I that should cover most if not all of the cases above
as well as anything else we didn't explicitly think of.
