i believe the note processing and later cet magic
are not affected by this code move.

but i did not test this with cet.

yeah, this is difficult to reason about.

it seems to me that after _dl_map_object returns there
may be _dl_map_object_deps which can fail in a way that
all of dlopen has to be rolled back, so if i move things
around in _dl_map_object that should not introduce new
issues.

but it is not clear to me how robust the dlopen code is
against arbitrary failure in dl_open_worker.
