I'm not sure if these patches should be applied for few reasons:
- orchestrating the exploit or error case require access to secret
signing key
- deploying the signed firmware needs root access
- in these cases the firmware could be prepared to pass the defensive
checks and still cause problems.
- creates false sense of security through obfuscation

Stefan, sorry for nacking it and thank you for the patches, I hope you
understand my side of the argument.
