Ah, no.

This performs the trace at translation time.
You want the trace at execution time.

     gen_update_pc(ctx, 0);
     gen_helper_zicfilp_unaligned_lpad(tcg_env);
     ctx->base.is_jmp = DISAS_NORETURN;


void HELPER(zicfilp_unaligned_lpad)(CPURISCVState *env)
{
     trace_zicfilp_unaligned_lpad(env->pc);
     env->sw_check_code = RISCV_EXCP_SW_CHECK_FCFI_TVAL;
     riscv_raise_exception(RISCV_EXCP_SW_CHECK, 0);
}

etc.

Nevermind the previous advice vs patch 5 saying you could inline everything; I had 
forgotten the desire for tracepoints.

You should probably add these helpers and tracepoints as you add the code.  Anything else 
is going to be a bit confusing.
