You don't need to keep CFI away from early boot code, but bringing
this up in qemu+gdb initially is probably the best way forward. We
also had plenty of type mismatches in syscall wrappers in the
currently supported architectures, so that's another thing to watch
out for once your kernel boots far enough to start init.
