That looks to be a nice idea. We should certainly look into this
possibility. However can we look at this option probably a little later?

Our plan was to do one step at a time i.e have the basic uprobes in
first and target the booster (i.e jump to the next instruction without
the need for single-stepping next).

We could look at this option of using jump instead of int3 after we are
done with the booster. Hope that's okay.
